Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most foods are compositionally complex materials made up of a wide variety of different chemical constituents such as water, lipid, protein, carbohydrate, and enzymes. Important components of foods are also vitamins and other bioactive molecules. Each component has its own physical and chemical characteristics, which contribute to the final properties of food products. The functional properties of food components are governed by intra- and intermolecular interactions within food structures.
Many different techniques are used to provide information about a wide variety of different characteristics of foods, including their composition, structure, physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes, such as chromatographic techniques, spectroscopic or physical techniques.Fluorescence spectroscopy offers several inherent advantages for the characterization of molecular interactions and reactions because it has a high spatial and temporal resolution and is very sensitive, as long as the background can be efficiently suppressed.
In summary, this Special Issue is focused on both original research and review articles, concerning techniques which bring information on processes which occur at the molecular level, such as spectroscopic techniques, but not only, in the analysis of foods and food components

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. Molecules 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 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.
