Aims & Scope

Food Science and Applied Biotechnology (FSAB) is an international peer-reviewed journal which publishes high-quality research articles focused on the areas of Food Science and Technology, Food Quality, Food Chemistry, Natural Antioxidants in Food, Applied Biochemistry, Biochemical Analysis, Molecular Biology, Photochemistry, Food Microbiology, Industrial Microbiology, Food Safety, Applied Ecology, Food-Drug Interaction, Pesticide Residue Analysis, Waste and Biomass Valorization, Food Toxicology, Food Process Engineering, Food Physics, Biotechnology, Applied Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering, Enzymology and Enzyme Engineering, Biotechnological Production Systems, Genomics and Proteomics, Metagenomics, Aquaphotomics, Metabolic Engineering, Bioenergetics, Bioinformatics, Foods and Nutrition, Dietetics, Catering, etc. The journal is an interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of research and innovations and will aim to publish three types of manuscripts: new basic research, innovations, and studies of more applied orientation. Manuscripts presenting simple recipes for food production of limited application and marginal or insufficient novelty ; manuscripts duplicating any other previously published work ; manuscripts that are currently under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in press or published elsewhere will be considered out of scope for the journal. This journal will publish two online issues per year and will include review articles, research articles, short communications and technical reports/notes. Complementing its regular volumes, the journal periodically publishes Special Issues dedicated to nascent themes in food science and biotechnology. Each Special Issue is subject to the same stringent peer-review protocols as standard submissions to ensure unwavering scientific rigour.
