Recent Advances in Bio(sensors) in Food and Environmental Applications

Fear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances on bio(sensors) applied to food and environmental applications. The use of sensors and biosensors has acquired a great importance in the field of food safety standards and environmental monitoring, due to the ability of these devices to do in situ analysis. In addition, the development of novel analytical tools using sensing selective elements such as enzymes, peptide arrays, nucleotides, antibodies aptamers, and molecular imprinted polymers has evolved rapidly in order to offer efficient (bio)sensors for many applications surpassing the classical methods. In food safety, sensors have been used in the screening and detection of pathogens and microorganisms, non-microbial toxins, and other parameters and molecules as allergenic proteins. On the other hand, emerging sensors have been potentially used for different analytes in environmental monitoring such as metals, radioisotopes, volatile organic compounds, and biological contaminants. Therefore, the importance to prepare a Special Issue on these novel and interesting types of devices will be a good choice for this emerging journal.

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. Analytica 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 1000 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.
