Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ongoing globalization of markets is worsening the issue of food loss and waste throughout the entire food supply chain. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), approximately one-third of all food produced globally is wasted every year throughout the whole value chain—from farmers to consumers. To fully capitalize on the potential of agri-food waste, it is essential to use efficient green extraction technology to isolate high-added-value compounds such as bioactive compounds, antioxidants, proteins, lignocellulosic fraction, etc., for successful conversion into a range of value-added products. The development of reliable and scalable green extraction processes designed using unconventional and safe techniques and green and recoverable solvents in order to minimize environmental impacts and ensure compliance with current regulation, need to be promoted.

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.
