Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different types of grain in the form of cereals, pseudocereals, legumes and oilseeds represent the global population’s main source of food.
Through different processes, they are transformed into safe and edible food products with desirable physico-chemical properties, nutritional qualities, and sensory characteristics. There is a direct relationship between the quality of food products and the quality of the raw materials used (physico-chemical, nutritional, sensory, and microbiological characteristics), the technological processes used, and the technological parameters chosen to achieve them. Their versatility and ability to improve food quality requires a more complex evaluation of them from a technological and nutritional point of view. Therefore, more and more studies are needed to analyze grain quality and their potential use in the development of food products. This Special Issue focuses on original research and review papers that discuss the various applications of different grain types in order to obtain food products. Different aspects such as grain composition; microstructure; and functional, nutritional, rheological, textural, and sensory characteristics and their use in order to obtain food products will be discussed in this Special Issue.

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.
