Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of olive oil is a very significant and traditional activity in Mediterranean countries and involves many companies. In recent decades, the push towards technological innovation in the field of Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOOs) has been linked to the evolution of the concept of quality of the EVOO product. Among the parameters that describe the quality of an EVOO product, those linked to the organoleptic and chemical–physical characteristics play key roles, and they have been enriched with a series of health indications and sensory properties that have made this food highly differentiated.
With the need to make agriculture more efficient and environmentally sustainable, in recent years the application of advanced technological solutions for the optimization of resources and processes has been greatly considered. Both resources and processes can be optimized in order to reduce the environmental impact of the production process and to improve product quality.
It is these considerations that have led us to propose a Special Issue to publish extended versions of papers in the area of Advanced Technologies in Extra Olive Oil Production.

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. AgriEngineering is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
