Aims and Scope: The Journal of Food Process Engineering publishes the best original research on applications of engineering principles and concepts to food and food processes with emphasis on process simulation, including mathematical models to describe processes and to allow for scale-up of processes for food manufacturing. Read by researchers, food and chemical engineers, and industry experts, this is the only international journal specically devoted to the engineering aspects of food processing. JFPE covers a range of topics, including: Transport of liquid and solid foods Heating and cooling processes Refrigerated food storage Food preservation processes Food freezing and frozen food storage Food concentration processes Crystallization processes Dehydration processes for foods Frying processes Membrane separation processes Extrusion processes Packaging processes Non-thermal processes including irradiation processing, high pressure processing and minimal processing technologies Cleaning and sanitation processes Extraction processes with supercritical uids Process development and design Process instrumentation and control including sensors The journal to which you are submitting your manuscript employs a plagiarism detection system.
