Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing concern over environmental toxins in the food supply has intensified the need for rapid, reliable, and sensitive detection methods. This Special Issue, entitled "Emerging Biosensor Technology for the Detection of Environmental Toxins in Foods", focuses on the latest advancements in biosensor technologies designed to address this critical challenge. We invite research that explores innovative biosensing approaches, including nanomaterial-based sensors, electrochemical biosensors, and optical biosensors, aimed at detecting various environmental toxins such as pesticides, heavy metals, and mycotoxins in food products. Contributions that cover the development of portable, cost-effective, and high-throughput biosensing platforms are particularly welcome, as they represent the future of food safety monitoring. This Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between laboratory research and real-world application, promoting technologies that ensure food safety and public health.

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. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
