Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food proteins in the human diet vary in nutritional properties, allergenicity, and functional properties depending on their source, molecular make-up, structures and modification during food manufacture. Different protein modification methods affect the physicochemical properties of food proteins in various ways, which in turn affect their nutritional properties, allergenicity, and functional properties. This topic has attracted much research and development interest. In-depth research on novel processing methods for improving the nutritional and functional properties of food proteins and reducing their allergenicity is still needed, which is beneficial to food quality and safety. This Special Issue is looking for high-quality research articles and reviews that focus on the above-mentioned topics.

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.
