Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we navigate the complexities of meeting the nutritional needs of a burgeoning population, it remains vitally important to scrutinize the physicochemical and sensory properties of agricultural food products. This endeavor not only contributes to the enhancement of food quality, but also plays a pivotal role in shaping consumer preferences and ensuring sustainability of the food supply chain.
The physicochemical attributes of agricultural food products encompass a wide array of factors, including composition, structure and stability. Understanding these properties is essential for optimizing production processes, mitigating post-harvest losses and meeting regulatory standards. From the moisture content of fruits to the lipid profile of grains, each property contributes to the overall quality and safety of the end product. Through advanced analytical techniques, researchers can unravel the intricacies of these physicochemical properties, offering insights that guide both agricultural practices and food processing methodologies.
This Special Issue focuses on research relating to the components of food, and their nutritional, physiological, sensory, flavor and microbiological aspects that affect the physicochemical and sensory properties of agricultural food. All types of articles, including original research, opinions and reviews, are welcome.

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. Agriculture 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 2600 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.
