Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current international market, where quality and safety in the food system are really significant, it is impossible to operate only in accordance with the logic of profit. Thus, it is interesting to investigate food consumer preferences regarding new food technologies from a safety and quality point of view and to develop and validate models, in order to formalize the origins of behaviors regarding consumer preferences toward them and detect the drivers of their purchase. In fact, new food products based on food-processing technologies are increasing in the market, as well as food biotechnologies, nutraceuticals, etc., and could improve consumer diet and wellbeing in the near future. Therefore, it is also fundamental to focus attention on the role of novel and future food products in order to make food regimes more sustainable in terms of safety, wellbeing, and health and the positive effect of this complex quality concept in national and global health systems. The impact of more recent and innovative research deepens the studies already present in the journal and can take inspiration to understand these important topics in depth and contribute in the near future via debates in a constructive manner and innovative policies of companies that invest more and more on research and development.
