Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of affordable and more reliable methods of controlling the quality of food and managing crops is imperative in order to maximize productivity and profitability and to minimize the environmental impacts of agriculture.

Visible and near-infrared (VIS–NIR) spectroscopy has contributed to enhancements in the control of food quality by offering the potential to probe the internal quality of fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other edibles. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews on the application of VIS–NIR spectroscopy in the control of food quality are welcome.
