Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in food analysis and packaging have contributed to enhanced food safety, quality assurance, and sustainability. These advances have enabled more efficient monitoring, detection, and prevention of contaminants, while also addressing consumer demand for transparency and environmentally friendly packaging options. Continued research and innovation in these areas will further improve the safety, quality, and sustainability of the global food system.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present the advances in food analysis, safety, and packaging. We encourage the submission of manuscripts that include, but are not limited to:
Food analysis: portable and rapid testing devices; DNA-based analysis; non-destructive imaging techniques; and big data and artificial intelligence analytics.
Food packaging: active and intelligent packaging; nanomaterials; sustainable packaging; and smart labels and traceability.
Dr. Adriana Dehelean
