Food Safety Management and Quality Control Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

Quality control techniques are fundamental to ensuring food safety. The development of quick, precise, and advanced techniques is important for food safety management due to the many safety issues that have occurred in recent years along the global food supply chain. Many analysis methods have been used to determine food quality and safety, including physical property analysis, chromatography, spectroscopy, spectrometry, molecular biology techniques, element analysis, isotope analysis, and microbiological analysis. Some methods are quick, and some are more accurate. Therefore, developing a more comprehensive approach which combines the two aspects or advancing existing methods to control food quality and ensure food safety more effectively and precisely is an important research topic. When it comes to food quality and safety, more effective and critical management is also needed in food production and manufacturing.

This Special Issue on “Food Safety Management and Quality Control Techniques” aims to curate novel advances in the development and application of analysis methods and managing approaches for food quality and safety. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Development of new analysis methods to determine food quality and safety;
• Development of new managing approaches to ensure food quality and safety;
• Advancing the existing analysis methods or managing approaches to achieve food quality and safety;
• Comprehensive and critical reviews of food quality and safety management.
