The chemical and biochemical composition of foods is fundamental to the study of their properties and processing applications. Food Chemistry publishes original peer-reviewed research papers dealing with a wide range of subjects which are essential to the food scientist and technologist. Topics include: - the chemical analysis of food; - chemical additives and toxins; - chemistry relating to the microbiological, sensory, nutritional and physiological aspects of food; - structural changes in molecules during the processing and storage of foods; - direct effects on foods of the use of agrochemicals; - chemical quality in food engineering and technology. Additionally the journal features the Analytical, Nutritional and Clinical Methods Section covering the measurement of micronutrients, macronutrients, additives and contaminants in foodstuffs and biological samples. Papers should be concerned with methods, their development and evaluation, results of collaborative studies, novel techniques (ELISAs, etc.), automated or on-line procedures for process control, methods for food adulterants, aspects of quality assurance including the preparation and characterization of reference materials, and relevant review articles. Methods concerned with the assessment of nutrient bioavailability from the diet and nutritional status will also be considered. Papers should focus on the development of new, or modification of existing analytical procedures and include sufficient data from real samples to validate the method.

食品的化學成分和生化成分是研究其性質和加工應用的基礎。食品化學出版了原始的同行評審的研究論文，涉及范圍廣泛的學科，這對食品科學家和技術專家來說是必不可少的。主題包括：食品的化學分析；化學添加劑和毒素；與食品的微生物、感官、營養和生理方面有關的化學；食品加工和儲存過程中分子的結構變化；使用農用化學品對食品的直接影響；食品發動機中的化學質量。工程和技術。此外，該期刊的特色是分析、營養和臨床方法部分，涵蓋了食品和生物樣品中微量營養素、大量營養素、添加劑和污染物的測量。論文應涉及方法、它們的開發和評估、協作研究的結果、新技術（ELISA等）、過程控制的自動化或在線程序、食品摻假方法、質量保證方面，包括標準物質的制備和表征，以及相關的審查?？死账埂＿€將考慮從飲食和營養狀況評估營養生物利用度的方法。論文應側重于開發新的或修改現有分析程序，并包括來自真實樣品的足夠數據，以驗證該方法。
