Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the current development in biotechnology, several new enzymes with peculiar physicochemical characteristics and multiple uses have been mainstreamed. These capabilities are in continuous progress and expansion. Further, enzymes acquired from diverse microorganisms like yeasts, fungi, and bacteria are extensively used in countless food compositions for food preservation, enhanced organoleptic characteristics, and improved rheological properties. Furthermore, enzymatic techniques are economically advantageous and require less harsh chemicals, are effective in bioactive compound extraction, and produce harmless food products. Another essential aspect is enzyme immobilization, a genetic engineering strategy that enhances beneficial properties and increases food sector applicability.
This Special Issue aims to contribute to the current knowledge in the field and provide the food industry with new enzymes, different applicabilities, and foresight into the evolution of valuable foods products. Articles focusing on enzymatic processes, biocatalytic methods, bioinformatics, and protein engineering are welcomed. In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research articles and reviews.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Catalysts 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 2700 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.
