Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of physicochemical and sensory methods for the analytical evaluation of foods and related products from farming is indispensable in reducing production costs and increasing the quality and safety of foods. Multivariate statistical models coupled to physicochemical and sensory techniques are essential in achieving the characteristics of agri-foods regarding their chemical compounds and physicochemical proprieties, improving the efficiency of the acquisition results. Physicochemical and sensory analysis coupled to multivariate statistical analysis is becoming important for the appropriate evaluation of agri-food datasets and the prediction of parameters based on agricultural practices.
Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the elaboration of innovative physicochemical and sensory methods for appropriate evaluation of the influence of different agricultural practices on the composition and characteristics of foods (chemical and physicochemical), which is deeply related to industrial quality and consumer interest. Research articles in this Special Issue will cover a wide range of physicochemical and sensory models assessing different agri-food practices and results. We welcome all types of articles, such as original research, opinions, and reviews.

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. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).
