Advances in Analysis of Food and Beverages

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic, entitled “Advances in Analysis of Food and Beverages", offers a forum for the rapid publication of original articles and reviews on food analysis, with a special emphasis on new challenges and trends. Currently, techniques such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis are essential to the characterization, classification, and authentication of a wide range of agri-food products.

Moreover, among the spectroscopic techniques and methods employed, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), through a plethora of methods (among them the recently introduced NMR spin chromatography or the diffusion-ordered spectroscopy), has also enriched and enhanced the above-mentioned goals. NMR techniques in combination with multivariate data analysis have strongly contributed to the expansion of the -omics approach in foods, namely foodomics.

Beyond these well-established options, research detailing new instrumental techniques, such as ion mobility spectrometry and microchip-based devices, novel NMR methods and benchtop NMR, will also be welcome.
