Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has emerged as a key player in enhancing food safety and improving agricultural productivity. It holds great potential for quality, safety testing and enhancing food defense mechanisms. Food spoilage can be inhibited, microorganisms removed, and microbial cells prevented from adhering to food surfaces through the formation of novel nanoscale compositions with altered physicochemical properties, thus promoting food safety and safeguarding the health of consumers.
With this Special Issue, we hope to explore the application of nanotechnology in food safety by utilizing the latest advances in the related fields of nanosensors/nanofabrication technologies/nano-filtration membranes/nano-catalytic technologies in order to promote the relationship between food quality and safety and human dietary health. This Special Issue aims to contribute to quality and safety in the food industry by promoting interdisciplinary discussions and exchanges.
We invite experts and scholars from various backgrounds to share their original research articles, reviews, and short communications in the field of nanotechnology on applications, challenges, and the future of safety in the food industry.

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. Nanomaterials 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.
