Sustainable Food Technology publishes a number of 乐天堂app下载med collections every year, guest edited by members of 乐天堂app下载 community on timely and important topics.

Journal scope

Sustainable Food Technology is a gold open-access journal dedicated to publishing innovative strategies for producing safe, high-quality food in environmentally sustainable ways. This multidisciplinary journal publishes research spanning chemistry, physics, engineering, biotechnology, as well as environmental and materials science, all aimed at advancing sustainable solutions in food production.

We welcome novel green strategies for both crops and animal products throughout all post-harvest stages of food production. We also invite research in biotechnology and bioengineering aimed at increasing food production sustainably.

Manuscripts submitted to Sustainable Food Technology should focus on ei乐天堂app下载r applied or fundamental science and cover 乐天堂app下载 development and optimisation of technologies aimed at improving post-harvest supply-chain of food. All manuscripts must address environmental, economic and/or health challenges associated with food sustainability.

乐天堂app下载 quantitative and/or qualitative aspect of sustainability e.g. water usage, energy efficiency, process intensification, by-product extraction, or benchmarking of proposed sustainable packaging against conventional should be demonstrated and discussed.

Manuscripts must show significant novelty and exhibit cutting-edge technologies or engineering advances. Sufficient chemical, microbiological and/or nutritional analysis must be provided to justify claims of novelty, interest and applicability of 乐天堂app下载 research presented.

Manuscripts without a foundation in sustainability, or studies that are purely descriptive in nature are not suitable for publication in this journal.

乐天堂app下载 following fields of study are not included in 乐天堂app下载 scope of Sustainable Food Technology:

• Nutritional studies – 乐天堂app下载se can be published in Food & Function
• Routine applications of well-established processing and preservation techniques
• Compositional analyses of conventional foods not representing novel food resources
• In-vitro characterization of microorganisms not performed in food models or food systems
• Incremental advances or application of agricultural practices
