Food Research International
Guide for Authors
Food Research International is the successor to the Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology Journal. Building on the quality and strengths of its predecessor, Food Research International has been developed to create a truly international forum for the communication of research in food science.
Food Research International provides a forum for the rapid dissemination of significant novel and high impact research in food science, technology, engineering and nutrition. The journal only publishes novel, high quality and high impact review papers, original research papers and letters to the editors, in the various disciplines encompassing the science and technology of food. It is journal policy to publish special issues on topical and emergent subjects of food research or food research-related areas. Special issues of selected, peer-reviewed papers from scientific meetings, workshops, conferences on the science, technology and engineering of foods will be also published.
Food Research International does not publish papers with a product development emphasis, statistical optimizations of processes or surveys. This is based on the editorial policy of the journal to publish more fundamental work with a strong quantitative emphasis and of a general nature.
Topics covered by the journal include:
Emerging Technologies
Sensory Aspects of Foods
Food Toxicology
Food Chemistry and Analysis
Food Omics
Nutrition, health and food digestion
