Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today's globalized food industry, ensuring food safety and quality is of great importance. The increasing complexity of food supply chains and the evolving nature of foodborne hazards necessitate innovative approaches to food analysis. Traditional methods often face limitations in terms of speed, convenience and accuracy, thus highlighting the need for rapid and reliable analytical techniques. The development of new analytical sensors or methods that minimize solvents and pre-treatment, along with the optimization of reagentless methods, has high relevance. Studies providing insights into the challenges of methodological advancements, practical applications and real-time measurements of critical quality attributes related to food testing and quality control are of high interest.
In this context, this Special Issue, titled "Exploring Innovative Approaches to Food Analysis: Tackling Challenges and Enhancing Applications", aims to collate research articles dealing with new strategies and applications in the food industry.
