Process Simulation and Techno-Economic Analysis of Food and Bioproducts Processing Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "Food Process Engineering".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meeting the increasing global demand of biobased food, products, and energy requires the development of advanced agricultural, food, and bioprocessing systems. For long-term sustainability and to commercialize these innovative technologies, these systems require comprehensive analyses of technological, material, and energy inputs and outputs to determine technical feasibility and economic competitiveness on a commercial scale. This Special Issue on “Process Simulation and Techno-Economic Analysis of Food and Bioproducts Processing Systems“ invites high-quality research studies dealing with techno-economic feasibility analysis using process modeling of agricultural and bioenergy systems, including the production of bio-feedstocks, biofuels, bio-products, food products, and animal feed. Critical review manuscripts related to techno-economic analysis methodologies and assumptions affecting the results are also welcomed. Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Agricultural production systems;
- Biochemical processes for energy, fuels, polymers, and fine chemicals production from renewable feedstocks;
- Thermochemical conversion of biomass to fuels, intermediate products, and/or chemicals;
- Novel food processing technologies;
- Grain processing technologies for food, feed, and fuel production.

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.
