Journals in Agricultural and biological sciences

The Agricultural and Biological Sciences collection advances science-based knowledge for the improvement of animal and plant life and for secure food systems that produce nutritious, novel, sustainable foods with minimal environmental impact. Food Science titles include not only those products from agriculture but all other aspects from food production to nutrition, health and safety, chemistry to security, policy, law and regulation. Biological Sciences address animal behaviour and biodiversity, organismal and evolutionary biology, entomology, marine biology and aquaculture, plant science and forestry.

Journal of Food Engineering

ISSN: 0260-8774

Journal of Food Engineering (JFE), since its first issue in 1982, aims to provide an international forum for publication of original research papers on any subject at the interface between food and engineering, particularly those of relevance to industry with emphasis on novelty, engineering rigor and clear perspectives of applications, including:Engineerin... properties of foods, food (multi-phase and multi-scale) physics and physical chemistry with their effects on food processing with novelty and relevance of engineering properties to food manufacturing.Innova... methods, sensors and actuators for food processing, quality and safety, packaging, storage, and supply chain, Advanced engineering aspects of analysis, design and optimization of food processing, control of food processing equipment and plant,Artificial intelligence and data-driven innovations with an emphasis on industrial applications, andSustainability and economics of the proposed solutions for food engineering, including alternative processes.With respect to process design and optimization, mathematical modeling studies with validation and process applications in conventional and novel processing illustrating food engineering principles are of particular interest. The use of specific software in modeling studies should avoid using the black-box approach and present the fundamental details of the applied modeling approach. Design and optimization studies should demonstrate engineering rigor rather than only observational comparisons. For analytical techniques (such as imaging methods and image processing with machine learning, and the use artificial intelligence), the manuscripts should demonstrate the required scientific background and potential innovative food process applications. Food packaging related manuscripts focusing on quantitative analysis (e.g., release kinetics, diffusion modelling, novel shelf-life modelling methods) are also of interest for publication in JFE.For review articles, critical comprehensive reviews should present a detailed background of the given subject with critical opinions of the authors suggesting challenges and priorities for the future research. The authors must have a significant scientific background on the topic to discuss the insights obtained from the literature with a critical assessment of the food engineering rigor of the reviewed works. Our expectation of engineering rigor in works published in JFE has various aspects:clear presentation of the underlying (e.g., physical or chemical) mechanism and its rationale within the (food) engineering discipline,developme... of theoretical considerations that are well grounded in physical/chemical sciences, experimental design and approaches described in a sufficient manner so that they can be replicated in another laboratory,data analysis based on well-established statistical methods,development of mathematical models with validation and for broader application of results, discussion of results that demonstrate how the work uniquely contributes to new knowledge, andwhen appropriate, application of results to industrial-scale problem-solving, with an emphasis on quantitative approach and analysis.
