Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal Foods is focused on “Storage and Shelf-Life Assessment of Food Products”. The assessment of food product storage and shelf life is a critical aspect of ensuring food safety, quality, and sustainability in the food industry. This entails a methodical assessment of numerous parameters that affect the food-storage circumstances and the time frame for which the desired characteristics of a food product can be preserved. In today's food industry, there is a growing focus on increasing shelf life while reducing the use of artificial additives and preservatives. Innovations in packaging technology, processing techniques, and natural preservatives have resulted from this focus. Therefore, this Special Issue is open to receiving research results and/or quality reviews focused on new challenges and new technological approaches related to the storage and shelf life of food products.
