Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food and the means of obtaining it have always been the most important goals of human life, as it is food that ensures the maintenance of our basic life processes. But today, it is important not only to obtain food but also to safeguard its quality and processing, as these affect our health.
Separation and extraction techniques are crucial in both food processing and analysis. Many simple processes are used in food production, for example, filtration, extraction, centrifugation, sedimentation, etc. More advanced techniques are often used in sample processing for analytical purposes, including solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction, and many others. Developing and optimizing separation and extraction methods are essential for achieving good food quality and reducing production costs, as well as for increasing laboratory productivity and improving selectivity, precision, and detection in analytical chemistry. It is also important to develop methods with low environmental impact. Proper control and qualitative and quantitative analysis of food products are critical for food quality and safety, and modern analytical methods allow both the appropriate isolation of food contaminants and their determination.
This Special Issue titled ‘Separation and Extraction Techniques in Food Processing and Analysis, 2nd Edition’ seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest advances in food processing and analysis. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Improved food processing methods characterized by low cost and negligible environmental impact.
- The search for valuable food constituents like antioxidants, etc.
- The development of green separation and extraction methods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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 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 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.
