Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, researchers have started to pursue research on new techniques for agricultural products and food detection since understanding that argo-food is essential to human life and the development of the food industry. Compared to traditional rigid devices, biosensing and optical approaches are more flexible, lightweight, and non-invasive, which significantly helps lessen damage to fragile products. They offer excellent sensitivity and a wider range of functions. The emergence of new functional materials and sensing techniques aids in the more accurate and effective detection of targets via extensive indicators.
This Special Issue, therefore, aims to gather original research, review and patent analysis articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, trends and challenges in the field of techniques for agricultural product safety and quality monitoring.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
