Grain & Oil Science and Technology (GOST) is a peer-reviewed Open Access (OA) journal and upon acceptance all articles are permanently and freely available on ScienceDirect. GOST publishes innovative papers in the fields of grain engineering (processing and storage of staple food grain and cereals), food science and engineering (food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, nutrition, food safety), oil science and engineering (processing and storage of oils and fats, oil chemistry for food use). Contributions written in English in the form of critical reviews, research papers, short communications, short reviews are welcomed.The main topics of interest include:Grain and oil processing theory and technologyGrain and oil storage technology and quality detectionFood safety detection and quality controlHigh-value utilization of grain and oil resourcesStored grain pest control technology and applicationQuality and function evaluation of grain and oil productsFlour product processing theory and novel technologyResearch on food bioactivity and bioactive compositionsComprehensive utilization of grain and oil by-productsOther special researches related to grains and oilsGOST is committed to the highest standards. Only papers that have not been previously published, that fit in the above mentioned topics covered by the journal, and that have been reviewed by experts in the field prior to publication will be accepted. Cover letters must state that the manuscript is new and original, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Co-authors should be individuals who have substantially contributed to the content of the paper. All authors must declare any potential conflicts of interest and all financial support.Editorial Board
An official scientific Journal of the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC)The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for thepublication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals – members of the Poaceae family – and starchy pseudocereals – members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research.NotesThe Journal of Cereal Science exists to advance scientific concepts in cereal science, and the content of papers published within it must be consistent with this goal.Manuscripts should not be purely descriptive or confirmatory in nature, but should be innovative, novel and offer new insights into cereal science research.Manuscripts dealing with topics of only restricted, local interest will not be sent for review unless the information presented can be demonstrated to be of general applicability.Manuscripts for which the application happens to be in relation to cereals, but for which the insights are predominantly in an unrelated area of science or technology, will generally not be considered.Research Areas Include:Composition and Analysis of cereal grains in relation to quality in end use;Morphology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics of cereal grains relevant to functional and nutritional characteristics;Structure and Physicochemical properties of functionally and nutritionally important components of cereal grains such as polysaccharides, proteins, oils, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals;Functional, Nutritional and Safety aspects of cereal-based foods and beverages;Processing of cereal grains, where the emphasis is on cereal science insights and their relationships with processing and end-product quality;Genetics and Functional genomics as they relate to end-use quality;Agronomy and Pathology of cereal crops if there is a substantive relationship to end use properties of cereal grains;Industrial products (e.g., starch and non-starch polysaccharide derivatives, protein concentrates, and isolates) from cereal grains, and their science;Storage of cereal grains and derivatives and effects on nutritional and functional quality.Journal of Cereal Science is an official Journal of the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC) https://www.icc.or.at/Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
