Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal Foods, titled “Discovery and Valorization of New Food Matrices”, that aims to present recent developments in the study of innovative food matrices.
The world of food chemistry is increasingly moving towards the discovery of new food sources characterized by a rich nutritional profile as well as safety for the consumer and environmental sustainability. This aim can be achieved through different approaches, such as considering the food application of a certain biological compounds never used for this purpose, applying a new production processes to "classic" food matrices, and isolating single compounds or mixtures to be used as food ingredients or supplements.
The present Special Issue will gather papers that cover innovative trends in this field, namely the characterization of the chemical, nutritional, and safety profiles of innovative and/or potential food matrices; the development of production and post-production approaches to change and/or improve the nutritional profile of food matrices; and the isolation of single compounds or mixtures to be used as food ingredients or supplements. All these new food sources will be considered from both the chemical and biological points of view.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
