Food science is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from biology, chemistry, and engineering to investigate the properties of agriculture, food, and microbiology. Our Research Topics are dedicated to unraveling the intricate relationships between different ingredients, processing techniques, and packaging methods and their effects on food products' appearance, quality, and nutritional content while promoting safer, healthier, more sustainable food systems.
Frontiers' Research Topics are peer-reviewed article collections around cutting-edge research themes.
