Journal of Agricultural, Food Science & Biotechnology
Journal of Agricultural, Food Science &
Biotechnology (JAFSB) is a
peer-reviewed open access international journal invites original research,
review, short reports and commentaries focusing on research in agriculture,
food science and biotechnology.
JAFSB also covers a wide range of
topics involving the chemical and microbiological analyses of food, food
additives and contaminants, food production, safety, packaging and nutritional
aspects of food. Artificial intelligence (AI), bioinformatics and in-silico
approaches in agricultural and food science are also encouraged.
