Food Research Advances (FRA) is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal for rapid dissemination of research advances in the interdisciplinary fields of food science and technology, microbiology, engineering, nutrition, safety, materials science and nanotechnology. In the rule of 3s for basic survival, food is the third most important necessity for human life next to air and water. Thus, it is pivotal to unravel good-quality food that is safe, nutritious and sustainable to fulfill the sustainable goals of ‘Zero Hunger’ and ‘Good Health and Well-being’ recommended by the United Nations. In line with this, FRA aims to address all aspects of food-related studies ranging from production/processing to application, and provide a forum to publishing high-quality and novel research findings with scientific rigor and interest to wide readership. Specifically, it seeks to bridge the existing research gaps to enable advancements in food research focusing on analytical method development, compositional changes during processing/storage, absorption and metabolism of food components, nutrition, functionality, engineering, safety, and functional food development with advanced technology for health benefits. FRA is published quarterly online by Scilight Press. More
