Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the scientific analysis of food composition, quality, and processing. Research investigates the chemical and biological properties of food products, including the characterization of volatile compounds, antioxidants, and bioactive components. Studies also explore novel processing techniques, such as freeze-drying, radio frequency hot air drying, and pulsed electric fields, to improve food quality, extend shelf life, and enhance nutritional value. The journal also covers the development of analytical methods for detecting contaminants, mycotoxins, and specific compounds in various food matrices, as well as the utilization of agricultural byproducts and the functional properties of food ingredients.
