Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prediction and control of various processes in the food industry are crucial to the achievement of optimum production and planning, as they impact the environment, economy, and viability of the food industry. Under appropriate prediction and control, food processes could see enhanced efficiency and resource use, the improved management of food quality, and a reduction in their impact on the environment. By integrating planning, modeling, and control into food processes, we can work towards food industries with higher yields that meet the needs of both present and future generations, while optimizing the use of natural resources for the planet.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advancements in food processing and their connection to modeling, control, and planning based on mathematical methods, numerical analyses, statistical advanced analysis, and computational simulation.
The upcoming Special Issue will include research works, reviews, and short communications that address new and innovative technologies for food processing. These contributions aim to enhance planning, modeling, and control in food industry production processes.
Dr. Roberto Lemus-Mondaca

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
