Sustainable Diets and Technologies in Food Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable diets have low environmental impacts, contributing to food and nutrition security and to healthy life for present and future generations. Sustainable diets are protective and respectful for biodiversity and ecosystems, culturally acceptable, accessible, economically fair and affordable, nutritionally adequate, as well as safe and healthy, while optimizing natural and human resources (FAO, 2010, Sustainable Diets and Biodiversity). It is certain that there are challenges in the field of sustainable food processing based on the concept of sustainable diets. The Special Issue will focus on the most recent technologies and strategies based on sustainable food processing.

High-quality submissions of papers presenting research in this field will be accepted, with a special interest in topics including, but not limited to:

• Environment-friendly food processing technologies.
• Recovery of food by-products during food processing.
• Biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials and formulations.
• Evaluation of nutrient bioactivity in food consumers.
• Development of comprehensive quality evaluation methodologies for processed food.
