Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second in a series of Special Issues devoted to detection methods for food frauds and contaminants, for which I serve as Guest Editor. This is an evergreen topic that deserve continuous effort to keep pace with the detection of emerging contaminants, to improve the available methods, and to develop novel rapid and advanced techniques for an accurate and sensititve determination of frauds and contaminants. This field of application benefits from the application of advanced, highly sensitive, and informative techniques, such as comprehensive chroimatography and powerful mass spectrometer analyzers, but at the same time the fundamental step of sample preparation cannot be overlooked and deserves a special emphasis in maximizing results, both with advanced analytical techniques and also with more traditional instrumentation.
The target of this Special Issue is to present recent developments in the field of food frauds and contaminants detection. Papers dealing with the optimization of sample preparation, analytical approaches, and data handling will be welcomed.
