Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue calls for papers on healthy lipids in food processing. The aims and scope of this Issue include but are not limited to the following: (1) new synthesis strategies for structured lipids (a new type of functional lipid obtained by chemically, enzymatically, or genetically modifying the composition and/or distribution of fatty acids in the glycerol backbone); (2) new structured lipids with favorable physicochemical features (e.g., solid fat content, crystallization and melting behavior, rheology and interfacial properties, oxidative stability) for specific uses; (3) how structured lipids’ chemical structure (i.e., fatty acid chain, unsaturation level, and positional distribution) and molecular architecture (e.g., polymorphic form; crystal shape, size, and the resultant crystalline network) affect their physicochemical characteristics; (4) health benefits of structured lipids (e.g., calorie reduction, immune function improvement, reduction in serum triacylglycerols); (5) potential applications of structured lipids in food products; (6) new oil processing and purification technologies for the production of high-quality and nutritious vegetable oil; (7) new oilseeds and edible oil resources; (8) new antioxidant strategies for vegetable oils.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
