Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors have become a promising method to monitor food quality and safety. Developing rapid, sensitive, and portable biosensors and analysis systems is critical to minimize exposure to food contaminants, including mycotoxin, pesticides, heavy metals, veterinary drugs, foodborne pathogenic bacteria, and illegal additives. Two key components of biosensor and analysis systems are novel recognition elements (such as genetically engineered antibodies, aptamers, and peptidomimetics) and reporter probes (such as magnetic beads, quantum dots, carbon dots, metal–organic frameworks, aggregation-induced emission material, metal oxides, nanozymes, etc.). Advancements in these areas will undoubtely boost the development of biosensor and analysis systems.

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. Foods 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 2900 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.
