Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of China’s food industry in recent years, Chinese researchers have made significant progress in the food science research and technology development fields, including key theoretical and technological breakthroughs in food production, preservation and storage, packaging and transportation, safety testing, etc. We would like to invite authors to submit original research articles or review articles on the latest research advances in the field of food science and technology, including, but not limited to, the physicochemical and functional modification of food components, extraction of natural substances and development of functional food (e.g., active polysaccharide, dietary fiber, flavonoids, probiotics, fermented foods), food brewing technology and brewing microorganisms, flavor generation and regulation mechanism of fermented food, food preservation and nutrient retention technology (e.g., emulsions, antimicrobial films), efficient value-added utilization of food by-product resources, rapid detection methods for foodborne contaminants (e.g., pathogenic bacteria, biotoxins), safety evaluation of food additives or food-contact materials, etc.

Prof. Dr. Hengyi Xu

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.

In recent years, due to the influence and promotion of several factors, the Chinese market demands for prepared foods have grown rapidly. However, there are still many problems with Chinese prepared food. As China’s prepared foods are still at an early stage of development, there are problems such as vague concepts, outdated processing techniques and equipment, imperfect, unclear and inconsistent national standards, and prominent safety risks. The existence of these problems hinders the high quality and stable development of prepared foods. Thus, to meet the further development of prepared foods, it is necessary to conduct further analysis and research on the concept and boundary of prepared foods, set the Chinese national standards for prepared foods further, reform and upgrade the processing technology and equipment of prepared foods, and develop the safety control management system of prepared foods to promote the high-quality development of the prepared foods industry and provide a solid foundation for the further development of this industry. In this paper, the research progress of prepared foods’ processing techniques and the difficulties of industry development have been reviewed. In addition, an outlook on the future of prepared foods is provided, with a view to giving some reference for the innovative and stable development of prepared foods in the future. Full article
