The Food Biology Series aims at bringing all the aspects of microbe-food interactions together, covering food microbiology, food mycology, biochemistry, microbial ecology, food biotechnology and bio-processing, new food product developments with microbial interventions, food nutrification with nutraceuticals, food authenticity, food origin traceability, and food science and technology. Special emphasis is laid on new molecular techniques relevant to food biology research, monitoring and assessing food safety and quality, multiple hurdle food preservation techniques, and new interventions in biotechnological applications in food processing and development.
