Journal of Food Composition and Analysis

This journal is devoted to all scientific aspects of the composition of human foods, and emphasizes new methods of analysis; data on composition of foods; studies on the production, compilation and dissemination of food composition data; studies on the statistics and distribution of such data and data systems; and studies related to data use, including nutritional epidemiology, clinical research, agro-biodiversity, food security and food trade. The journal has a strong base in nutrient composition, but places equal emphasis on bioactive non-nutrients and anti-nutrients in foods. Research Areas Include: New and rapid methods of analyses . Nutrient, bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient data ; Data on wild and under-utilized foods, including intra-varietal differences ; Computer technology and information systems theory directly relating to food composition database development, management, and utilization ; Processes of development and selection of single-value entries for food composition tables ; Quality control procedures and standard reference materials for use in the assay of food components ; Statistical and mathematical manipulations involved with the preparation and utilization of food composition data.
