Applied Food Research

Aims & Scope

Applied Food Research is an open access scholarly journal devoted to scientific and technological applications of food science and engineering.

Applied Food Research complements Elsevier food science Journals such as Food Research International, LWT and Journal of Food Engineering by offering a broader and more inclusive reach to cater for the increased spread of research interests.

The Journal will focus on application-oriented works in food manufacturing and engineering and production optimization.

Studies on regional products and associated review papers are of interest, as well as reporting food property data using routine procedures.

This includes applications in all areas of food and process engineering for food manufacturing, including but not limited to: • Novel and emerging food processing, hurdle and minimal processing, thermal processing, extrusion, value addition, dehydration, separations technology, refrigerated and frozen foods, electro-technologies, irradiation, packaging, etc. and related technology development concepts • Use of conventional and innovative extraction approaches to recover high-added value compounds (i.e nutrients and bioactives) to be used as food additives, nutraceuticals (alone or combined). • Formulation of new products using optimization strategies for better organoleptic properties, nutritional qualities, environmental impact, shelf life etc. • Mathematical and statistical methods for modeling and analyzing a process such as Response Surface Methodology, Artificial Neural Networks, etc. • Applications in non-conventional technology areas
