Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The current Special Issue aims to cover promising, recent, and novel research trends in food and beverage production within fermentation technology and microbiology. In addition, the objective of this Topic Project is concentrated on scientific reporting and high-quality papers based on developing and implementing technologies in food and beverage fermentation and the enhancement of processing performance and product quality and acceptance.

We invite researchers from a wide range of fields associated with, but not restricted to, the following themes:

  • New substrates for food and beverage fermentations;
  • Novel methods for the pretreatment of biomass targeting food and beverage fermentations;
  • New microbial strains for the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages;
  • The applicability of innovation and infrastructure as functional elements regulating food and beverage production and preservation;
  • Innovation and infrastructure used in forming functional foods with beneficial health effects;
  • The optimization of food and beverage fermentation parameters, including the modeling of the associated processes;
  • The physicochemical and sensory characterization of fermented food and beverage products;
  • The packaging interaction of fermented food and beverage products;
  • Scale-up production processes.

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. Microorganisms 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.

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.

We used inter-delta typing (IDT) and MALDI-TOF profiling to characterize the genetic and phenotypic diversity of 45 commercially available winemaking Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and 60 isolates from an organic winemaker from Waipara, New Zealand, as a stratified approach for predicting the commercial potential of indigenous isolates. A total of 35 IDTs were identified from the commercial strains, with another 17 novel types defined among the Waipara isolates. IDT 3 was a common type among strains associated with champagne production, and the only type in commercial strains also observed in indigenous isolates. MALDI-TOF MS also demonstrated its potential in S. cerevisiae typing, particularly when the high-mass region (m/z 2000–20,000) was used, with most indigenous strains from each of two fermentation systems distinguished. Furthermore, the comparison between commercial strains and indigenous isolates assigned to IDT 3 revealed a correlation between the low-mass data (m/z 500–4000) analysis and the recommended use of commercial winemaking strains. Both IDT and MALDI-TOF analyses offer useful insights into the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of S. cerevisiae, with MALDI-TOF offering potential advantages for the prediction of applications for novel, locally isolated strains that may be valuable for product development and diversification.
