Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, several key criteria must be met when developing analytical methods for analyzing products or specific compounds in the food sector: high sensitivity, reproducibility, and rapid execution. In this regard, electrochemical techniques have stood out for their novelty in identifying molecules or contaminants within a matrix of interest. This is achieved through synthesizing composites, nanomaterials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), biosensors, aptamers, and other useful materials to enhance the detection, linear range, and quantification limits of electrochemical sensors.
Additionally, the development of electroanalytical procedures has proven advantageous when combined with artificial intelligence methods for resolving and analyzing the discrimination and identification of different groups based on electrochemical responses.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design of electrodes for the detection of compounds in food samples.
- Implementation of chemometric methods coupled with electrochemical techniques for developing electroanalytical methods.
- Evaluation of compounds in matrices for electroanalytical determination in real-world samples.
- Development of electrochemical sensors for the determination of compounds in quality assurance.

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.
