Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue “Advances in Food Processing”. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring the most updated information on the most common and recently developed food manufacturing processes while addressing relevant food safety and quality issues. It will also address issues in the design of food processing operations and the necessary equipment along with the reliability, safety, and maintainability management tools. Different food manufacturing processes can include products of plant and animal origin, such as grains, spices, meat, dairy, nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages and wine, instant foods, bakery and confectionery, fruits and vegetables, oils and fats, poultry, nuts, seafood, cocoa and baked coffee, snacks, starch products, and functional foods. The processes include any physical properties and changes to the food product that result in preservation of the food, extending to transportation, products shelf-life, or improvements in the product’s quality attributes. For this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring innovative research and advances in the fields of food processing. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome as are comprehensive review and survey papers.

Dr. Bei Wang

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).

Among the variety of edible cold-pressed oils on the market, hemp seed oil is becoming increasingly popular among scientists and consumers due to its plethora of nutritional compounds. In this study, the goal was to examine the thermal characteristics of cold-pressed hemp seed oil pressed from seeds of the Henola cultivar procured by five different suppliers in two different seasons. This aim of this research was to establish how various scanning rates can affect the unique thermal profile of cold-pressed hemp seed oil in terms of an authenticity assessment. The melting transition was manifested by curves with four peaks for all hemp seed oils; however, they differed for each scanning rate in terms of the shape and peak intensity. Comparing the curves obtained at heating rates of 1 and 2 °C/min, noticeable differences were observed in the melting transition parameters between hemp seed oils, showing that small differences in fatty acid composition can cause changes in DSC profiles. In contrast, at a scanning rate 5 °C/min, the melting curves were similar for all hemp seed oils. It was also observed that for all the scanning rates, there was a strong negative correlation between the total content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (ƩPUFAs) and the peak temperature of the three peaks (Tm2, Tm3, and Tm4). The most abundant fatty acids were PUFAs, i.e., linoleic acid (C18:2), with contents ranging from 47 to 55%; and α-linolenic acid (C 18:3 n–3), with contents ranging from 17 to 25%. The application of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) enabled a discriminant model to be built based on the DSC data obtained for differentiation of oils pressed from fresh and stored seeds.
