Aim & Scope
The Journal of Food and Nutrition (JFN) aims to serve as a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality research that advances our understanding of the intricate relationship between food, nutrition, and human health. With a multidisciplinary approach, the journal seeks to address pressing issues and emerging trends in the field, fostering dialogue and collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
The scope of the journal encompasses a broad spectrum of topics within the domains of food science and nutrition, including, but not limited to:
- Food Chemistry and Analysis: Exploration of the chemical composition, properties, and interactions of food components, as well as analytical techniques for quality assessment and authenticity determination.
- Food Microbiology and Safety: Investigation of microorganisms in food, microbial interactions, foodborne pathogens, food spoilage, and strategies for ensuring food safety and preservation.
- Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism: Studies elucidating the biochemical processes involved in nutrient digestion, absorption, metabolism, and their impact on human health and disease.
- Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics: Research focusing on the role of nutrition in the prevention, management, and treatment of various health conditions, as well as dietary interventions and therapeutic approaches.
- Food Engineering and Technology: Advancements in food processing, preservation, packaging, and storage techniques to enhance food quality, shelf-life, and sustainability.
- Public Health Nutrition and Epidemiology: Investigations into dietary patterns, nutritional status, and their association with chronic diseases, as well as strategies for promoting healthy eating habits and addressing nutritional disparities.
- Food Policy and Regulations: Analysis of policies, regulations, and interventions aimed at improving food security, sustainability, and equitable access to nutritious foods at the local, national, and global levels.
Through the publication of original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and case studies, the journal strives to facilitate knowledge exchange, foster critical thinking, and contribute to evidence-based practices that promote the well-being of individuals and populations worldwide. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute to this collective endeavor by submitting their work to the Journal of Food and Nutrition.
