There is a consistent focus on the evaluation and development of food processing techniques, such as fermentation, extrusion, and encapsulation, to enhance the nutritional value, shelf life, and safety of food products. - Functional Foods and Dietary Interventions:
Research on functional foods, dietary supplements, and their roles in disease prevention and health promotion is a core area, highlighting innovative dietary strategies to improve public health outcomes. - Sustainability and Utilization of Underutilized Resources:
The journal encourages the exploration of underutilized food resources, such as indigenous plants and by-products, promoting sustainable practices and food security through innovative applications in nutrition and food technology. - Consumer Acceptance and Sensory Evaluation:
Research on consumer acceptance, sensory properties, and the psychological impacts of food choices is also significant, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific findings and practical dietary habits.
Trending and Emerging
- Plant-Based Nutrition and Functional Ingredients:
There is a notable increase in research focused on plant-based nutrition, exploring the health benefits of various plant-derived ingredients, such as superfoods and functional compounds that promote health and prevent diseases. - Innovative Food Processing Technologies:
Emerging techniques in food processing, such as high-pressure processing and ultrafiltration, are gaining traction, with research dedicated to their effects on food quality, safety, and health-promoting properties. - Health and Wellness Impacts of Food Components:
Increasing attention is being paid to the health impacts of specific food components, such as polyphenols, phytochemicals, and probiotics, underscoring their roles in chronic disease management and overall well-being. - Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition Security:
Research is increasingly focusing on sustainability in food systems, including the nutritional aspects of food security, food waste reduction, and the utilization of underexploited food sources to enhance global nutrition. - Personalized Nutrition and Dietary Interventions:
The exploration of personalized nutrition, including tailored dietary interventions based on individual metabolic responses and genetic factors, is emerging as a significant area of interest, reflecting the trend towards individualized health strategies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fermented Foods:
While previously a significant area of study, the focus on traditional fermented foods has waned, possibly due to the increasing interest in novel food processing techniques and functional foods. - Animal-Based Nutritional Studies:
Research centered on animal-based nutrition appears to be declining, as there is a growing trend towards plant-based diets and the exploration of vegetarian and vegan nutritional interventions. - Micronutrient Deficiencies in General Populations:
Studies specifically addressing micronutrient deficiencies in general populations are becoming less frequent, as attention shifts towards broader dietary patterns and holistic nutrition rather than isolated nutrient deficiencies.
