Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry publishes fundamental and applied research papers in a broad scientific area dealing with the chemistry and biochemistry of all aspects of agriculture and food. JAFC includes topics on chemical/biochemical composition and the effects of processing on the composition and safety of foods, feeds, and other products from agriculture, including wood and other bio-based materials, byproducts, and wastes. It covers the chemistry of pesticides, veterinary drugs, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, and other agro-chemicals, together with their metabolism, toxicology, and environmental fate. In addition, JAFC reports on the chemical processes involved in nutrition, phytonutrients, flavors, and aromas. The Journal also encourages papers combining chemistry and/or biochemistry with biological / sensory / toxicological evaluation. Contributed papers must report original research, that is, have a definable impact on the advancement of science and technology. Originality will be documented by novel experimental results, theorectical treatments, and interpretations of data.
Types of papers include: Expedited handling. A request for expedited handling, along with justification for the request, must be included in the cover letter accompanying the manuscript.
