Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is fundamental to human survival and development. As a national economic pillar, the food industry’s development directly impacts food safety, nutritional supply, agricultural product value enhancement, and resource efficiency. Amid consumption upgrading, green low-carbon development, and global food supply chain coordination, traditional food processing and preservation technologies face challenges in efficiency, quality, loss reduction, and safety control. The development and application of advanced technologies have become the core driver for advancing the industry’s high-quality development, addressing food security and waste issues, and meeting global consumers’ diverse health needs.
This Special Issue on “Food Processing and Food Preservation: Advanced Technologies and Applications” seeks high-quality works focusing on the innovation, development, and practical application of advanced technologies in food processing and preservation, and the exploration of related mechanisms and quality control systems. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- The applications of novel processing technologies, intelligent processing equipment, and green energy-saving processing technologies in the food field.
- Technologies for the efficient extraction, separation, purification, and stabilization of functional components, and formula design and processing optimization of functional foods.
- The variation laws of food components during processing/preservation, and the mechanisms of quality formation.
- The development and preservation mechanism of green and high-efficiency food preservatives/packaging.
