Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ever increasing demand for safe and high-quality food in the agri-food sector is inextricably coupled to the demand for rapid, cheap and robust analytical methods and techniques for food analysis. This has led to a series of advances in sensor technology, including the development of electrochemical, colorimetric and mass-based detection sensors, that are related to a broad spectrum of applications; this includes the analysis of food components (sugars, proteins, fats, vitamins) and biomarkers linked to food safety, but also food additives, pesticide and drug residues, mycotoxins and heavy metals.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide a forum for the discussion of recent developments in the field of food analysis, with a focus on chemosensors. We welcome the submission of research papers and review articles whose scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Analytical methods that include the use of chemosensors;
- The development of chemosensors focusing on food analysis;
- Articles that employ the use of chemosensors in food quality and traceability;
- The application of chemosensors in food analysis.

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. Chemosensors 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.
