Preventive Nutrition and Food Science

Aims & Scope

Preventive Nutrition and Food Science (PNF) is a journal that publishes original scientific work on preventive nutrition for preventing disease and promoting health status, and its related food science and biotechnology.

The scope of PNF specially covers the preventive effects of nutrients and food components on chronic disease development and modification of their bioactivity by food processing.

The journal will cover the field of nutritional biochemistry, molecular nutrition, functional foods, nutraceuticals, natural bioactive compounds in the area of preventive nutrition, as well as food bioactivity and safety, food microbiology, food chemistry, food packaging etc. and other relevant aspects of nutrients and food components in disease prevention and health promotion.

Papers will cover such issues: -Nutritional biochemistry and molecular nutrition for disease prevention- Functional foods and nutraceuticals- Natural bioactive compounds- Nutrient and food component bioactivity - Nutritional and medical effects of nutrients and food components. -Nutritional and food biochemistry - Isolation and analysis of bioactive food ingredients and investigation of nutritional biocompounds or food functionality. -Nutrient component and food safety –risk/benefit evaluation for the functionality of nutrients and food components.

Safety aspects of food constituents -Food microbiology - Food spoilage, food pathogens, chemical and physical approaches with fermented foods and novel microbial processes. -Other related subjects for preventive nutrition and food biotechnology relevant to disease prevention for health promotion.
