Special Issue Information
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.

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. 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.
