Biosensors and Applications for Food Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue provides a comprehensive platform to explore cutting-edge sensor technologies and their diverse applications in food analysis. We invite experts from various disciplines to contribute to this Special Issue with their expertise in this vital field.

We welcome original research, reviews, and short notes on sensor applications in food analysis, covering the following topics:

Advanced Sensing Technologies: Explore recent advances in sensor/biosensor technologies, such as IoT-based solutions, aiming to enhance the precision and efficiency of food analysis.

Quality Assurance: Investigate food quality assessment, including freshness monitoring, shelf life evaluation, and the detection of contaminants and adulterants, ensuring adherence to rigorous quality standards.

Sensory Evaluation: Delve into the integration of sensory data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in food analysis to gain valuable insights into consumer preferences and sensory attributes.

Safety and Compliance: Examine sensors and analytical methods that enhance food safety by detecting allergens, pathogens (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), chemical residues, and compliance with food regulations.

Traceability and Transparency: Discuss innovative sensor applications enabling traceability and transparency across the food supply chain, from farm to fork.

Emerging Trends: Explore evolving trends in food analysis, including the adoption of wearable sensors, smartphone apps, and portable devices for real-time food assessment.

Optimizing Dietary Management: Investigate how wearable health biosensors are reshaping personalized food consumption, optimizing health diet management for consumers as part of personalized food strategies.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
