Frontiers in Food Science and Technology

Aims & Scope

Frontiers in Food Science and Technology is a DOAJ-indexed journal advancing innovative solutions for rethinking food and production systems by integrating science, engineering, and technology.

The journal aims to couple innovation with an eye on sustainability to benefit both society and the environment.

Led by Field Chief Editor Giovanna Ferrari (University of Salerno, Italy), the journal explores new thinking and solutions in global food science and food production systems to address the challenges the agri-food supply chain faces, including a growing population, climate change, pandemics, water depletion, and food-related health issues.

The journal covers the following subject areas: • food biotechnology • food characterization • food modeling • food packaging and preservation • food process design and engineering • food product design • food safety and quality control • food and soft materials.

Papers on the different traditional and emerging topics of Food Science and Technology are encouraged, especially if presenting an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the research.

Invited review papers are also welcomed to inform the public on the new trends in food design and production.

Moreover, this journal encourages research that champions the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), principally SDG 2: zero hunger, SDG 3: good health and well-being, SDG 9: industry, innovation, and infrastructure, SDG 12: responsible consumption and production, and SDG 13: climate action.
