Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unsafe food containing deleterious chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms is responsible for foodborne diseases that affects millions every year. Increased awareness and concerns about food safety has skyrocketed the development of novel and rapid technologies for detecting contamination. In loco quality evaluation and assurance of agrifoods for the processing industries and fresh market or even for curious consumers has also driven technological advancements. Conventional methods are apparently less expensive and simple but can be laborious and time consuming. Therefore, rapid methods offering higher sensitivity and specificity, while reducing human errors are necessary to overcome the limitations of conventional approaches.
From single analysis to multi-residue methods, from chemical to microbiological evaluations, this Special Issue entitled “Advance of Rapid Analysis Technology for Detecting Food Contaminants” aims to assemble the most innovative research including new method of analysis and new applications of analytical methods in the field of food safety.
