Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing attention has recently been paid to analyzing trace small molecules in food safety, environmental pollution and drug residues. The accurate, rapid and highly sensitive analysis of small molecules in complex food systems is crucial for controlling food safety. However, small molecules such as pesticides and veterinary drug residues, mycotoxins, banned additives and environmental contaminants are often at trace or ultra-trace levels, with severe matrix interferences, limiting the accuracy of the process and the results of small molecule monitoring. This highlights the need for efficient detection techniques to achieve the trace analysis of small molecules in food. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions from all perspectives of food detection, as we believe it is the last barrier to preventing food safety.
Original research, review and perspective papers are welcome on subjects such as, but not limited to:
- The development and application of new rapid detection techniques for harmful small molecules in food;
- Application of new high-resolution mass spectrometry and other instrumental techniques for high-throughput and high-sensitivity detection in food samples;
- Application of advanced nanomaterials in sample pretreatment of harmful small molecules in food;
- Research on detecting harmful small-molecule residues in food based on new biosensor technologies;
- Quality control of medicine food homology food;
- Development and application of rapid detection technology for pathogenic bacteria in food.

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. Foods 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 2900 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.
