Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recognizing the profound impact of climate change and globalization on food quality and safety, this Special Issue, "Applications of Ultrasound and Other Technologies in Food Processing", focuses on presenting innovative research at the forefront of food science. It highlights emerging processes and technologies designed to improve food productivity, quality, and analysis, while also presenting findings derived from various methodologies applied to food development and characterization in agricultural, experimental, and industrial contexts.
This Special Issue invites original research and review articles addressing one or more of the following topics:
- Development of prototypes, processes, and emerging technologies for food processing and their impact on physicochemical, functional, morphological, and consumer sensory–cognitive aspects.
- Development or implementation of new methodologies for food evaluation in terms of characterization, quality control, and adulteration.
- Simulation techniques, artificial intelligence, and image analysis for food characterization, quality control, and adulteration.
- Processes for analyzing the competitiveness of food chains and the sustainability of agricultural food systems of national and international importance.
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting a scientific article or review sharing your latest findings and advances in this field.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
