Biotechnological Food-Oriented Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Providing food for an increasing population is a great challenge that coincides with the pressure to offer healthy, convenient and ready-to-eat foods, able to meet daily nutritional needs, provide pleasure and satiety and attend to consumers’ growing expectations and safety concerns. Transforming the current food system simultaneously towards the goals of providing healthy diets and environmental sustainability constitutes one of the major challenges of current times. Therefore, the application of biotechnological derived processes for the creation of novel food formulations with high consumer acceptance, improved microbial stability, enriched with health-promoting bioactive compounds and improved sensorial qualities have opened numerous opportunities for the food industry. Based on this consideration, this Special Issue, entitled “Biotechnological Food-oriented Processes”, aims to curate advances in the development of novel food formulations using several biotechnological approaches. This Special Issue aims to collect and publish recent reviews and research articles related to Extraction of bioactive molecules, innovative and emerging food and by-products processing methods, fermented food products, structural and characterisation of food-derived bioactive compounds, bioactivity evaluation and food waste and by-products valorisation.
