Food Analytical Methods
A section of Foods (ISSN 2304-8158).
Section Information
This section focuses on the development, application, and study of analytical procedures for characterizing the properties of foods and their constituents. The instrumental analytical techniques and methods used in food analysis to assess a rational understanding of food properties fits the scope of this section, as well as new innovative approaches and the use of modern analytical instruments, methodologies, and applications. The present and future challenges in food analysis—including the application of “omics” techniques (e.g. epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, foodomics)—fall within the scope of this Section, open also to aspects related to government regulations and international standards relevant to the foods analysis.
