Aims and scope

International Journal of Food Technology & Management (IJFTM) is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on the innovation and application of food technology, as well as the management strategies employed within the food industry. Each manuscript is assessed based on its novelty, scientific rigor, advancement of the field, and overall relevance to our readership.

Research advancing the theory and practice of food technology or management strategies, especially concerning production, safety, quality, and distribution, are highly regarded.

Topics featured in the Journal of Food Technology and Management include:

  • Innovations in food processing and preservation techniques: Exploring novel methods that enhance food quality, safety, and shelf life.
  • Sustainable food production: Studies on eco-friendly practices and technologies that reduce environmental impact.
  • Food safety and quality management: Research on systems and protocols that ensure the safety and quality of food products.
  • Supply chain management: Analysis of strategies to optimize the efficiency and reliability of food supply chains.
  • Consumer behavior and market trends: Insights into consumer preferences, dietary habits, and emerging trends in the food market.
  • Regulatory and policy issues: Examination of the impact of food regulations and policies on industry practices and food safety standards.
  • Food business and entrepreneurship: Case studies and research on innovative business models and entrepreneurial ventures within the food sector.

The journal encourages adherence to internationally recognized guidelines and robust statistical validation for analytical papers. Authors must provide comprehensive data and discussion to demonstrate their findings' practical relevance and impact.

The following topics will not be considered for publication unless they significantly advance the field of food technology or management:

  • Clinical studies without direct application to food technology or management.
  • Pharmaceutical or non-food-related research.
  • Survey or surveillance data without novel insights or applications.
  • Incremental work that does not present significant advances in current scientific knowledge.
