Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite authors to submit their research to this Special Issue of Foods titled "Refined Processing Technology to Improve the Quality of Natural Products in Foods". We welcome original research articles and review papers focusing on the use of refined processing technologies to increase the quality of bioactive substances in foods.
This Special Issue aims to present research on the most suitable refined processing technologies for various food components and bioactive substances, such as high-pressure processing, ultrasound-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and pulsed electric field treatment, to enhance the quality of phytochemicals in foods. This issue focuses on aspects such as exploring and strengthening bioactivity, improving oxidative stability, and enhancing thermal stability through new refined processing technologies. Our ultimate goal is to drive innovation in food production and improve the overall quality of food products.
This Special Issue will provide a platform for researchers to share innovative approaches to refining processing technology and promoting the utilization of natural sources of phytochemicals in the food industry. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Prof. Dr. Yan Zhang
Guest Editor
