Instructions for authors
1 Aims and scope
Journal of Food and Nutrition Research (JFNR) publishes papers focusing on fundamental and applied research in chemistry, physics, microbiology, nutrition aspects, bioactivity, quality, safety, and technology of foods.
The consensus of Editorial Board was to avoid publishing of papers focused on trivial analysis and determination of basic composition of any kind of natural products, without any technological treatment, processing, storage at various conditions.
JFNR appears 4 times per year.

All scientific contributions will be peer-reviewed on the criteria of originality and quality. After acceptance, the author may be asked to carry out a minor or major revision. JFNR publishes articles in English. Manuscripts should be grammatically and linguistically correct, and authors less familiar with English usage are advised to seek the help of English-speaking colleagues. British spelling is preferred.
