Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Efficient food quality control cannot be imagined without sutiable data processing tools. Chemometrics, as an unavoidable part of modern quality control chain, provides various methods for data analysis, including pattern recognition and regression modeling, ranking and experimental design approaches. This Special Issue is focused on novel approaches in chemical, instrumental and physical analysis of food and agriculture products and chemometric processing of the analytical data in terms of:
- parametric and non-parametric pattern recognition (cluster analysis, principal component analysis, discriminant analysis, support vector machines, etc.);
- regression analysis (various linear and non-linear approaches);
- artificial intelligence (artificial neural networks);
- ranking approaches (sum of ranking differences);
- experimental design;
- analysis of variance (ANOVA);
- general descriptive statistics.
The studies dealing with development of novel chemometric pattern recognition and regression methods, that can be applied in food analysis, are welcome as well.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
