International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering

International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Engineering is devoted to the publication of original manuscripts and review articles relevant to the topics of food science and nutrition. It is an international peer-reviewed journal that includes peer-reviewed research covering all aspects of experimental nutrition and various aspects of food science. The Journal gives a comprehensive view of the food chain and the interactions between diet and health. It focuses on recent developments and applications of modern genetics as well as enzyme, cell, tissue, and organ-based biological processes to produce and improve foods, food ingredients, and functional foods. Papers based on fundamental and interdisciplinary research will be particularly encouraged. The research described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results for the food science and food industry communities should be specified.
