چکیده
Global food systems are facing increasing challenges associated with population growth, climate change, environmental pressures, resource limitations, and the demand for safe and nutritious foods. Food biotechnology has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that contributes to addressing these challenges through innovations in microbial processes, bioprocess engineering, food safety technologies, and the development of functional food ingredients. This editorial provides an overview of the research topics presented in this issue of Applied Food Biotechnology. The published articles cover a broad range of subjects, including microbial biotechnology, fermentation technologies, probiotics and postbiotics, enzyme engineering, bioactive compounds, food safety interventions, pathogen control, nanobiotechnology, and sustainable bioprocesses. Several studies examine approaches for improving microbial performance, enhancing food quality, optimizing biotechnological production systems, and increasing the stability and functionality of food ingredients. Other contributions focus on food preservation, antimicrobial strategies, waste valorization, alternative bioresources, and applications relevant to sustainable food production. Collectively, these studies reflect current research directions in food biotechnology and highlight the diversity of biotechnological approaches being explored to support food quality, safety, functionality, and sustainability. The findings presented in this issue may contribute to future developments in research, industry applications, and evidence-based decision-making within the food sector.
