Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While food safety has always been a focus, rapid social and economic development has gradually improved people's living standards, generating higher food safety requirements. To ensure food quality and protect people's health, there is a need to actively develop more efficient and faster analytic and testing techniques. Traditional instrumental analysis methods have shortcomings such as expensive instrumentation and time-consuming, labor-intensive sample pre-treatment, requiring specialized personnel; as such, they are not conducive to rapid on-site food safety testing. In recent years, the intersection of different disciplines and various new technologies, including sensing analysis, has introduced more reliable and accurate detection methods. Due to its fast detection speed, high sensitivity, low cost, and easy equipment miniaturization, sensing analysis provides new ideas and methods for food safety testing, adapting to new food safety problems. We are pleased to invite you to contribute an article to this Special Issue on the application of sensing analysis innovations in food safety testing, including topics such as novel sample pre-treatment techniques, recognition and signal amplification strategies, advanced functional materials, dual-mode sensors, microfluidics, microarray technology, and visualization, portable and multi-residue analyses.

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.
