Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest achievements in science and technology are changing the food industry before our eyes. Once-revolutionary processing methods are becoming more common, but they still pose challenges, especially when it comes to scaling up production and moving from the laboratory to the industrial stage. In this topic, most attention in scientific publications is devoted to processing technologies using, among others, high pressure, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, cold plasma, microwaves, and infrared, to name just a few. Nanotechnology is also gaining increasing interest as an emerging technology in the areas of food processing, safety, and packaging. The food industry is beginning to use it to develop nanoscale ingredients that improve the quality, color, texture, and taste of products, as well as to develop food packaging materials. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences highlights new and emerging technologies used in food processing to provide consumers with safer, nutritious, flavorful, and pathogen-free foods with extended shelf life. We invite authors to submit both research and review articles.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
