International Journal of Applied Food Science and Nutrition
Aim & Scope
The International Journal of Applied Food Science and Nutrition aims to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research that contributes to advancements in food science, technology, and nutrition. The journal seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications, providing a forum for studies that improve food quality, safety, and health outcomes.
Key areas of focus include:
- Food Processing and Technology: Research on novel food processing techniques, preservation methods, food nanotechnology, and advances in food engineering.
- Nutritional Science and Dietetics: Studies on macronutrient and micronutrient metabolism, dietary patterns, nutrition intervention strategies, and clinical nutrition.
- Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds: Investigations into probiotics, prebiotics, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and nutraceuticals that contribute to health benefits.
- Food Safety and Quality Assurance: Studies on foodborne pathogens, contamination control, risk assessment, and food safety regulations.
- Sustainable Food Systems and Security: Research on agricultural practices, food production sustainability, waste reduction strategies, and alternative protein sources.
- Food Chemistry and Biochemistry: Analytical studies on food composition, flavor chemistry, and interactions between food components.
- Food Packaging and Preservation: Innovations in biodegradable packaging, smart packaging technologies, and shelf-life extension methods.
- Public Health Nutrition and Policy: Evaluations of nutritional epidemiology, dietary guidelines, and policies promoting healthy eating.
- Personalized Nutrition and Metabolic Studies: Research on nutrigenomics, individualized dietary interventions, and the role of food in managing chronic diseases.
The journal fosters interdisciplinary collaboration by welcoming contributions from researchers, nutritionists, food technologists, microbiologists, and public health professionals. It maintains a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of impactful and scientifically robust studies that advance the field of applied food science and nutrition.
