Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue focused on “Mycotoxins in Food: Detection, Contamination and Management Strategies”. The production of mycotoxins in agricultural products in the fields and/or during storage is unavoidable and unpredictable, and their detection and management represent a unique challenge in food safety. The objective of this collection is to illustrate novel approaches and results in the detection of mycotoxins for food safety. Innovative approaches based on sample preparation, (bio)sensors, and/or chromatography for the detection of mycotoxins in food matrices are the main interest of the collection, as well as extensive studies and monitoring on the spread of contamination through the food production chains and innovative strategies for the management of mycotoxins.
Therefore, contributions and experiences in the field of mycotoxins are welcome. The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect and share new knowledge on mycotoxin detection in food. Indeed, we hope that it will represent an exciting overview for the scientific community that will also inspire young researchers in the field.
