Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing development of society, innovative detection technologies have been widely proposed and applied to food; however, the biofuels derived from food waste deserve additional attention. In recent decades, the application of innovative, rapid, and non-invasive technologies to ensure the safety and quality of foodstuffs has become essential. It is therefore crucial to develop simple, fast, and accurate models for detecting the various control or quality parameters of food. On the other hand, biomass-derived biofuels are regarded as a potential alternative source of energy, which could solve the problem of the energy crisis caused by the depletion of fossil fuels.
This Special Issue, entitled “Innovative Detection Technology to Meet Food and Fuel Needs—2nd Edition”, welcomes papers that address the application of new and novel detection technologies in order to develop or enhance current non-destructive methods; this is in order to ensure and control the safety and quality of the food industry. Furthermore, we welcome the submission of original research on numerical studies, advanced techniques and methods, and comprehensive review articles on current state-of-the-art and emerging technologies.
