Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of genetically modified (GM) or bioengineering (BE) technology, especially GM foods, has brought extremely high economic and nutritional improvements as well as social benefits to human society. However, the risks of GM technology has always been controversial, with potential risks to the ecological environment and consumers due to its potential allergeniticy and toxicity. With the maturity and quick development of GM technology, such as gene editing technology, more and more novel GM foods are being developed. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop rapid and effective detection strategies and risk assessment methods for GM foods. Different analytical methods have been developed in recent years, including targeted analysis and state-of-the-art analytical strategies based on omics technology. Despite these advances, more robust, reliable and comprehensive methods to facilitate the rapid development of bioengineering technology to evaluate the safety and quality of GM/BE foods are still needed. This Special Issue welcomes contributions related to GM food safety assessment and detection strategies and discusses the development trends and sustainability of GM foods.
