Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced and non-thermal technologies are green, safe, and eco-friendly for food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals. These technologies are popular for inactivating microorganisms for minimally processed products while maintaining their sensory attributes and nutrient content, similar to as with fresh products. Apart from these benefits, these technologies are considered as alternative pre-treatment or extraction methods for releasing various biomolecules from different sources due to higher extraction yields, less time consumption, better functional properties, higher bioaccessibility and bioavailability, and minimum thermal degradation on thermosensitive compounds. Due to these advantages, more and more in-depth research related to these technologies has been carried out in recent years. Therefore, the focus of this Special Issue is the application of advanced and non-thermal technologies, including but not limited to, high-pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field, oscillating magnetic field, ozonization, irradiation, ultrasound processing, plasma processing, freeze drying, fermentation, and germination; and how such technologies influence food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals as well as food preservation, characterization and health promotion. We invite you to submit your original research or comprehensive review articles related to these technologies.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
