With a global commitment to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), food safety has become a key priority, encompassed primarily in SDG No. 2. Within the field of food analysis, the development of high throughput analytical approaches plays a crucial role in ensuring consumer health and food safety. However, it is essential for these analytical procedures to align with the SDGs, particularly those related to preventing environmental pollution (SDGs No. 12 and 13).
Green chemistry has emerged as a primary focus within the analytical field, aiming to create more sustainable processes for food safety. Strategies such as minimizing or eliminating chemical consumption, reducing sample amounts, residue generation, and procedure steps are being pursued to develop greener analytical approaches. Consequently, microextraction techniques have gained attention in the food science and technology field as a promising green alternative to conventional extraction procedures (e.g., solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction). These traditional methods are often cumbersome, time-consuming, and involve large volumes of samples and solvents.
Hence, this Research Topic aims to provide insight into new potential analytical applications that contribute to the advancement of food safety through the development of green and sustainable approaches by using microextraction procedures.
We invite authors to submit original and innovative research articles or comprehensive review papers on this topic. Contributions describing quick, green, high throughput potential, non-destructive, real time and in-situ applications are particularly encouraged.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
• Innovative microextraction procedures for the determination of food contaminants, including pesticides, mycotoxins, drugs, natural toxins, PAHs, food process toxicants, etc.
• Comparison of conventional methods with improved microextraction procedures.
• Microextraction procedures using different analytical approaches: liquid and gas chromatography, spectrometry, spectroscopy, NMR, voltammetry, REIMS, among others.
Keywords:
Microextraction techniques, Sustainability, Food Safety
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
