The aim of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists an international forum to publish research at the forefront of food science. The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including the interface between production agriculture and food, as well as how food science influences health and nutrition. In all cases, the key findings in multidisciplinary articles must address some aspect of the science of food.

The range of topics covered in the journal include:

Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
New Horizons in Food Research
Integrated Food Science
Food Chemistry
Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
Food Microbiology and Safety
Sensory and Consumer Sciences
Health, Nutrition, and Food
Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
Food Science Education
