Agricultural Product Quality and Safety
A section of Agriculture (ISSN 2077-0472).
Section Information
The section “Agricultural Product Quality and Safety” welcomes original research and review articles that provide novel insights into all topics related to the composition, quality, safety, and security of agricultural produce and derived products (fresh-cut products, oil, wine, juices, etc.). The scope of submission includes all aspects of quality (chemistry, sensory, pathology, nutritional, and health-promoting properties), postharvest operations (quality evaluation, preservation, storage, packaging, commercial handling, trade, and distribution), and processing.
Keywords
horticultural produce, including flowers and herbs; crop quality; food and feed chemistry; food and feed quality; food safety and security; food processing and engineering; functional foods
