Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on the success of first volume of Special Issue Relationship Between Food Allergy and Human Health (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/special_issues/IG3L7R65EY), We hereby announce Relationship Between Food Allergy and Human Health—2nd Edition.
The research field of food allergy is experiencing an important development with essential advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of food allergy, sensitization routes, and the roles that specific immune cells, receptors, and pathways have in the initiation, development, and regulation of food allergies. Novel insights on allergen characterization are not only providing advances in the description of new allergens and their properties, but they are also creating accurate maps of the epitopes recognized by IgE.
Chemical and biochemical characterization and the evaluation of their biological activities go deeper into the relationship between structure and activity of food compounds in terms of their allergenicity. Their gastrointestinal digestibility, bioavailability, benefits and risks for human health are crucial and should be determined.
Your contribution to this Special Issue, in which you are invited to share your findings and insights in the form of research articles, reviews, or short communications, will be a valuable asset and a compelling contribution that will potentially have an important impact on the field of food allergy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
