Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Along with environmental conditions such as climate change, water scarcity and food processing waste are important for the food industry, and consumers' food preferences are changing daily. The food industry is developing dynamically to reduce environmental impacts and meet consumer needs as much as possible.
This Special Issue on Recent Advances and Trends in Food Processing aims to present current, original scientific articles and review articles on recent developments in the food process with new food products.
One of the primary factors for the mentioned Special Issue is novel green techniques, including high-power ultrasound, high hydrostatic pressure, ionizing and ultraviolet radiation, ohmic heating, and pressurized carbon dioxide. Zero waste is another important factor for the food industry's sustainability. The processes of alternative proteins, like edible insects, provide new ways to tackle hunger and are issues that the food industry should take into consideration nowadays, as well as alternatives in consumer preferences. The process of 3D printed foods is another novel food production process that serves consumer preferences. Non-thermal food processing methods can ensure that we obtain products with high nutritional value and are alternative processes that prevent the formation of non-healthy components.
