Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A number of foods exist in the form of gels, such as jams, desserts, and yogurt, which are composed of a mixture of different ingredients. The consensus is that understanding the gel structure is a prerequisite to attain the desired sensory perception, stability, and convenience of the developed products. In addition, the advances in food science and technology and new food trends have led to new endeavors in the field, opening up new opportunities.
The topic collection “Food Gels” aims to gather important contributions by researchers from academia and industry in gel science applied to foods. The main objective is to provide an overview of the main findings and new challenges in the area of food gels. Since the new developments involve a multidisciplinary research approach, we are seeking submissions focused on new materials, innovative processing and characterization technologies, and final food applications. We expect that key actors in the field address this discussion according to their particular areas of expertise, covering different types of gels such as hydrogels, oleogels, emulges, nanogels, etc.
We look forward to receive your submissions to this anticipated collection of exciting, high-quality papers covering the latest findings in gel science.
Dr. Miguel A. Cerqueira
Guest Editor
