Journal Title：Food Biophysics

Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.

A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.

食品和農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的生物物理研究涉及化學(xué)、生物學(xué)和工程學(xué)的交叉學(xué)科研究，以及材料科學(xué)和納米技術(shù)等新的跨學(xué)科領(lǐng)域。此類(lèi)研究包括但不限于以下領(lǐng)域的研究：食品分子、生物聚合物和生物材料的分子、微觀和中觀尺度結(jié)構(gòu)；特定食品、飼料、食品加工操作和農(nóng)產(chǎn)品中結(jié)構(gòu)生成和維持的分子基礎(chǔ)；微生物生長(zhǎng)、死亡和抗菌作用的機(jī)制；食品和農(nóng)業(yè)生物聚合物的結(jié)構(gòu)/功能關(guān)系；用于食品和農(nóng)業(yè)材料和產(chǎn)品結(jié)構(gòu)和動(dòng)態(tài)表征的新型生物物理技術(shù)（光譜、微觀、熱學(xué)、流變學(xué)等）；無(wú)定形生物材料的性質(zhì)及其對(duì)化學(xué)反應(yīng)速率、微生物生長(zhǎng)或感官特性的影響；以及味覺(jué)和嗅覺(jué)的分子機(jī)制。

此類(lèi)研究的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是依賴各種儀器分析方法，這些方法提供分子水平的信息，依賴各種物理和化學(xué)理論來(lái)理解生物分子之間的相互關(guān)系，并試圖將宏觀化學(xué)和物理特性和生物功能與生物材料的分子結(jié)構(gòu)和微觀組織聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

Food Biophysics創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由Springer US出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 食品科技全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專(zhuān)業(yè)影響力一般，過(guò)審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 24周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.8，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
