Aims and Scope. The International Journal of Food Properties publishes original research papers devoted to all scientific and applied aspects of food properties. The emphasis is on measurement methods, development of standard materials, and data on food properties, predictions, and applications. Its aim is to bring together the widely scattered efforts in the area of food properties and provide an international forum for scientists and technologists for rapid dissemination of their research results, ideas and knowledge. Other features are review articles, book reviews, letters to the editor, conference papers, news, and commercial advertisements.
