Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Intelligent Flavor Sensing System (IFSS), a kind of olfactory and gustatory simulation technology based on a rapid perception system and the pattern recognition method, can nondestructively detect the overall flavor profiles of foods in real time under atmospheric pressure. As the typical IFSS, electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue) based on cross-sensitive sensor array were developed as artificial human olfactory and gustatory systems, both can describe the overall flavor characteristics of foods rather than being limited to feature compounds. Moreover, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS, also known as “Super E-nose”), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, also known as the “Magnetic Tongue”), electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) are taken as IFSSs for the evaluation of the overall flavor quality of foods in real time. Moreover, such Intelligent Flavor Sensing Systems can be widely used for process monitoring, freshness and shelf-life evaluation, authenticity identification, quality assessment, etc.
This Special Issue will report recent advances in Intelligent Flavor Sensing Systems for addressing these challenges, including progress in sensor material development, achievements in intelligent signal processing algorithms and methods, novel measuring techniques, practical applications, etc.
This Special Issue, titled “Application of Intelligent Flavor Sensing System for the Quality Detection of Foods”, invites papers on topics including but is not limited to the following:
- Fabrication of new-style flavor sensors;
- Development of new-style Intelligent Flavor Sensing Systems;
- Signal normalization, standardization, optimization, and baseline correction;
- Chemometric approaches for feature extraction and data fusion;
- Pattern recognition methods for classification and prediction.

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.
