Interests: My main area of interest involves the development and validation of chromatographic methods (GC/MS, HPLC/MS, HPLC-UV) including different sample treatments for the detection, separation and quantification of volatile compounds, toxins, drugs and pesticides in different matrices. Another area of my interest is based on the structural organic analysis and study of polymorphism of newly synthesized organic compounds, by using spectroscopic, spectrometric, nuclear magnetic resonance and thermal analysis techniques. My main current research area is focused on the application of chromatographic/spectrometric methods to the study of the presence of mycotoxins in different foods and biological matrices.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Some beverages are prepared from raw materials that can be contaminated by fungi, such as cereals, fruits and dried fruits, coffee, and grapes, among others. When exposed to adequate conditions in terms of temperature and humidity, these fungi produce secondary metabolites known as mycotoxins. Nowadays, mycotoxins’ presence in foods and their relationship with human health represent a matter of special concern. In 2018, a Special Issue titled “Mycotoxins in Beverages” was published. This Special Issue included three research articles and three reviews and covered very different aspects of this topic. Now, MDPI is offering a new opportunity for researchers to publish their works on this interesting theme. As was the case for the first Special Issue, articles or reviews related to the presence of these toxins in beverages, the effects of beverage processing on mycotoxin contamination, the impact of their presence on human health, and analytical methodologies used for their determination in beverages are welcome.

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. Beverages is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
