Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-thermal technologies such as high hydrostatic pressures (HHPs) and pulsed electric fields (PEFs) have received increasing attention from the industry and consumers not only for the high quality of their treated products but also for the vast number of applications that have been developed for these technologies in addition to food preservation. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to showcase the most recent advances in applying these technologies in food preservation (the inactivation of microorganisms and enzymes, the retention of nutrients and bioactive compounds, the extension of shelf life, sensory and physicochemical aspects, etc.). It also covers, but is not limited to, aspects related to HHP- and PEF-assisted processes (drying, extraction, frying, and others), the inactivation of mechanisms, macromolecule modification, nutrient bioavailability, mathematical modeling, and others.

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.

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.
