Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the analysis of contaminants and additives in food and related products. It covers the detection and quantification of residues, such as antibiotics and pesticides, in various food matrices like feed, vegetables, and beverages. The journal also investigates the presence and stability of processing contaminants like acrylamide, and evaluates the authenticity and quality of food supplements and ingredients, including coffee extracts and plant-based products. Furthermore, it addresses issues of food adulteration, such as the addition of neutralisers in milk and undeclared substances in supplements, and explores analytical methodologies including chromatography, spectroscopy, and machine learning for food safety assessment.
