Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is the material basis for human survival and development, and food quality and safety are highly related to human health and the national economy. As food may be contaminated by a variety of toxic substances in the process of production, processing and storage, such as pesticide residues, heavy metals and harmful additives, food quality and security are increasingly less protected. Strengthening the rapid and effective monitoring of harmful substances in food is of great practical significance to ensure food safety, promote human health, and increase social and economic development. Conventional detection methods, such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cannot meet the needs of rapid analysis, especially online quality assessment and determination for industrial applications. Consequently, there is a need for reliable and rapid analytical methods of food quality and safety.
This Special Issue, entitled “Spectroscopy-Based Biosensors for Rapid Detection of Food Quality and Safety”, aims to collect high-quality research focusing on the latest novel advances and technology for food quality and safety detection. We encourage the submission of original high-quality research papers and comprehensive reviews related to the application of biosensor and spectral analysis in food.

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. Biosensors 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 2700 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.
