Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food and its safety have become the topic of globally increasing research efforts, including food and its quality analysis. The interest of the scientific community in food and beverages safety is visible in thousands of scientific papers focused on this area. Analyses to ensure food and beverages safety and quality are more relevant now because of rapid changes in the quantity, diversity, and mobility of these products. Food chemistry as well as food contamination must be determined to maintain health and uphold laws, as well as for ethical and cultural concerns. All of these problems can be solved through the application of analytical techniques.
The main aims of the present Special Issue on “Food and Beverages Analysis: Recent Advances and Future” belong to both fundamental studies with application of advanced analytical techniques as well as real case multidisciplinary investigations. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research and review articles, have the broad scope to provide an overview of current trends in analytical and bioanalytical strategies in food quality and safety control. We believe that this Special Issue will present challenging scientific approaches and recent and emerging issues and visions for future. Thus, it covers but is not limited to new methods and novel applications in food and beverage analysis; methods for the determination of both major and minor components of food and beverages; and characterization, purification, and validation of chiral or achiral bioactive compounds that occur in food and beverages. Studies that involve GC, HPLC, SFC, and their hyphenation with mass spectrometry, as well as spectroscopic techniques and others are strongly encouraged.
