Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current Special Issue aims to cover promising, recent, and novel research trends in food and beverage production within fermentation technology and microbiology. In addition, the objective of this Topic Project is concentrated on scientific reporting and high-quality papers based on developing and implementing technologies in food and beverage fermentation and the enhancement of processing performance and product quality and acceptance.
We invite researchers from a wide range of fields associated with, but not restricted to, the following themes:
- New substrates for food and beverage fermentations;
- Novel methods for the pretreatment of biomass targeting food and beverage fermentations;
- New microbial strains for the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages;
- The applicability of innovation and infrastructure as functional elements regulating food and beverage production and preservation;
- Innovation and infrastructure used in forming functional foods with beneficial health effects;
- The optimization of food and beverage fermentation parameters, including the modeling of the associated processes;
- The physicochemical and sensory characterization of fermented food and beverage products;
- The packaging interaction of fermented food and beverage products;
- Scale-up production processes.
