Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food provides essential nutrients, pleasurable flavours, and physiological functions that influences on human health interactively with other factors (e.g., genotype). The roles are fulfilled by “metabolites” that are defined as small molecules (<2000 Da). Metabolomics is the ideal technology that determines and evaluates the quantitative features of metabolites pertained in a range of biological contexts including “food matrix”.
Accordingly, the Special Issue invites papers covering a range of topics regarding metabolomic application to food science, which includes but is not limited to food safety, food processing, food quality control, functional food, and food microbiology (fermented food). The topic may also include method development in analytical procedure and computational processing.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
