Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) is increasing as a valid method/platform in food science for assessing food quality, safety, and traceability in a robust, efficient, sensitive, and cost-effective way.
The diffusion of UHPLC-MS instruments opened new frontiers and possibilities for scientists to characterize and determine food proteomes and metabolomes, but also for food authentication and pesticide residue analyses. These qualitative and quantitative analyses can also provide insights into food industrial processes as well as the use of adulteration practices, and the presence of food contaminants.
In addition, the advent of this analytical equipment coupled to chemometric techniques now offers enormous opportunities to obtain detailed information that can be correlated with various food properties and functionalities, which improve the scope of traditional targeted analysis, providing a new opportunity to investigate hitherto unresolved topics and problems in food science.
This Special Issue welcomes scientific contributions and critical reviews that employ the use of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry for targeted and untargeted food analysis, as well as new applications in food science, such as applications for food composition, food safety, quality, nutrition, and health.

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.
