Overview

The Journal of Food Safety publishes original research articles on foodborne microorganisms and microbial food safety. Submission of articles on novel methods of detection and identification of foodborne microorganism of high impact and interest are welcome. Studies must be of interest to the international community of food microbiologist. Research that is preliminary or confirmatory in nature will not be considered for publication.

 

Aims and Scope

This fully peer-reviewed international journal provides microbiologists, food processors, and food researchers with essential information on microbial food safety.

The Journal of Food Safety encourages submissions of full-length original research articles relating to the following topics: Rapid methods and/or biosensors for detection, identification and enumeration of foodborne pathogens, Novel interventions and technologies to control foodborne pathogens, Bacteriophages or bacteriophage derived compounds as alternative antimicrobials/antibiotics to improve food safety, Novel antimicrobials, Antimicrobial packaging, Food microbiome, Predictive microbiology, and Advances in food safety research on bacteriophage-host interactions.

Book reviews related to the field of food microbiology and food safety are welcome. Review paper topics must receive editor approval prior to submission. Short communications on exceptionally novel research of interest to the international food microbiology community will be considered.

 

Keywords

food safety, microbiology, microorganisms, toxins, food substrates, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, bacteriophages, rapid methods, biosensors, interventions.

 

 

Specific guidelines:

The Journal of Food Safety does not consider manuscripts consisting mainly of the following areas:

- Simple identification of a microorganism(s) 

- Simple antibiotic resistance patterns of clinical isolates

- Simple sequence types of clinical isolates

- Clinical statistics

- Simple production and biotechnological application of natural or recombinant products

- Simple expression of a cloned gene(s) in a microbial host

- Antimicrobial activities of natural products without providing information with regard to defined mechanisms or application.
