Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food quality determination is an important issue, and spectroscopic methods are effective detection technologies for food quality determination owing to their advantages of ease of use, rapid detection speed, nondestructive detection, and good precision. Advanced spectroscopic techniques, coupled with powerful chemometric analyses via machine learning, can revolutionize our understanding of food quality. Spectroscopic methods used in food quality determination include near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy (FS), hyperspectral imaging (HSI), terahertz spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Spectroscopic methods have widespread applications in agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection.
Spectroscopic methods can obtain both quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, without separate analyses. For food quality determination, chemometric methods should be used to determine the association between spectral data and food quality indicators. This Special Issue aims to collect recent and novel applications of spectroscopic methods in combination with chemometrics concerning food quality.

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. Foods 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 2900 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.
