Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Yeasts play a crucial role in the food industry as they produce enzymes that bring about various desirable biochemical reactions involved in food manufacturing. Yeasts can also exert several potential health benefits on foods by improving nutritional value, producing functional metabolites or extending shelf life. The current growing demand for healthier products from consumers has forced the industry and the scientific-technological area toward innovation with new functional foods. The health benefits of functional foods are expressed either directly, through the interactions of ingested live yeasts with the host (probiotic effect), or indirectly, as the result of the ingestion of yeast metabolites synthesized during fermentation (biogenic effect). These products must include extra benefits with the objective of not being a threat to consumer health. In this context, the addition of probiotic yeasts as part of food formulation allows one to obtain innovative products, characterized by high added value. Therefore, articles dealing with topics related to yeasts which are capable of confering beneficial health effects in foods are welcome for submission in this Special Issue

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.
