Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional nanomaterials have unique optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic functions and have shown transformative potential in food safety and biomedicine analysis.
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing food safety by introducing highly sensitive and specific detection methods. Functional nanomaterial-based sensors are employed for detecting trace amounts of foodborne pathogens, toxins, pesticides, and contaminants in real-time, significantly improving food monitoring processes. In biomedical analysis, functional nanomaterials offer tremendous potential in the development of advanced biosensors for the rapid and sensitive detection of drugs and biomolecules such as glucose, cholesterol, DNA, proteins, and enzymes, facilitating point-of-care testing and early disease diagnosis.
This Special Issue, entitled “Functional Nanomaterials for Food safety and Biomedicine Analysis Applications”, aims to collate the most recent research that focuses on the exploration of novel functional nanomaterials and their applications in food and biomedicine analysis applications. Both review articles and research papers are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.

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. 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.
