Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-destructive detection techniques have recently emerged as a powerful analytical technique with the advantages of fast speed, convenient operation, and easy online inspection of various horticultural products. In recent years, non-destructive detection techniques (such as visible, near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy (VIS-NIRS), fluorescence spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), X-ray imaging, CT scan imaging, electronic nose, machine vision, and thermal imaging) have found numerous successful applications in horticultural product quality detection. These techniques are used to determine quality features and analyze horticultural products in a non-destructive way with minimal sample preparation. The resulting datasets are usually high dimensional and complex, requiring methods of pattern recognition or predictive analysis to extract quality information. This Special Issue aims to focus on the latest research progress of the application and jointly discuss the focus of non-destructive detection techniques in horticultural products.

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. Horticulturae is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
