New Advances in Food Analysis and Detection

Dear Colleague,

Food quality and safety inspection are important for the food industry and consumers. Analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry techniques, chromatography techniques, imaging techniques, spectroscopy techniques and sensory techniques, have been widely studied for food analysis and detection. Chemometric methods have also been developed and used alongside the aforementioned analytical techniques. The analysis and detection of food in rapid, accurate and low-cost manners is preferred for food quality and safety inspection. The increasing demand for high-throughput, robust and accurate food analysis as well as detection drives the development of novel analytical techniques and chemometric methods. This topic invites papers that explore the development and application of novel analytical techniques and novel chemometric methods for food analysis and detection. For example, biosensor-, novel-optical-sensor- and deep-learning-based data analysis approaches are encouraged. New applications and the optimization of existing analytical techniques are also welcomed, as is the integration of multiple sensors for food analysis and detection.
