Food Engineering Aspects / Aims and Scope
Food Engineering Aspects Journal publishes the best original research on applications of engineering principles and physics concepts to food and food processes with emphasis on process simulation, including mathematical models to describe processes and to allow for scale-up of processes for food manufacturing. Read by researchers, food, agricultural, biological, and chemical engineers, and industry experts, this is the only international journal specifically devoted to the engineering aspects of food processing. It publishes reviews, research papers, and communications. Our aim is to encourage practitioners and researchers to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
The scope of the Journal includes but is not limited to the following fields:
Novel processes and novel concepts in food engineering
Transport of liquid and solid foods
Heating and cooling processes
Food freezing and frozen food storage
Frying processes
Heat, mass transfer, and fluid flow in food processing
Mathematical modeling and software development for food processing purposes
New and improved extrusion processes
Packaging processes including Modified Atmosphere Packaging and intelligent packaging
Non-thermal processes including irradiation processing, high-pressure processing, and other high pressure-based technologies, pulsed electric fields, application of gases in food preservation, UV, Ultrasound, filtration, cold plasma, and other similar minimal processing technologies.
Cleaning and sanitation processes
Process engineering technological solutions for produce safety
Process development and design
Process instrumentation and control including sensors for the detection and identification of contaminants in food safety and quality.
Nanotechnology applications to food processes (nanosensors, new ingredients, new process technologies, sensors)
Use of biotechnology to improve food processes
Economics of food engineering and statistical and theoretical analysis
Future-foods-oriented processing methods and technologies, including food structuring methods, sustainable food manufacturing, engineered food colloids, 3D food printing, and food matrix design to control sensory perception
Advanced processing technologies to improve food safety, quality, nutrition, and reduce food waste
