Foodomics Approaches—Technologies and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Foods focuses on “Foodomics Approaches—Technologies and Their Applications”. Foodomics is a comprehensive, high-throughput tool facilitating food science to improve human nutrition. This new approach to food and nutrition studies the food domain as a whole, alongside the nutrition domain, achieving the main objective of optimizing human health and well-being. Thus, it provides valuable insights into food safety, quality control, and authenticity, enabling better regulatory practices and ensuring consumer trust. In recent years, the applications of foodomics span the food system, from production, processing, distribution, and storage (food authenticity, traceability, and safety) to consumption, including dietary guidelines and the emerging field of precision nutrition. Specifically, NMR-based and MS-based metabolomic approaches have been applied to study food at the molecular level and advance nutritional food research by controlling food quality and safety, identifying health-promoting food constituents and investigating the impact of dietary patterns in relation to human health.

Therefore, this Special Issue is open to receiving research results and/or quality reviews on the new challenges and technological and nutritional approaches related to omics technologies, especially foodomics.

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.
