Food Science, Nutrition, and Technology

This is a peer-reviewed, open-access book series dedicated to showcasing advanced research and innovation at the intersection of food science, human nutrition, and food technology. Designed for doctoral researchers, early-career scientists, and interdisciplinary scholars, the series captures the depth and diversity of emerging work that is shaping the future of food—from molecules to markets.

Each volume features original, high-quality chapters that reflect rigorous research, technological advancement, and global relevance. Contributions explore scientific, engineering, and applied aspects of the food system to promote food quality, safety, sustainability, and health on a global scale.

Each volume will focus on a specialized topic and may include contributions across areas such as:

Food Chemistry and Flavor Science |Food Microbiology, Safety, and Toxicology | Nutritional Biochemistry and Functional Foods |Food Processing, Engineering, and Packaging Technologies | Sensory Science and Consumer Research |Data Science, AI, and Predictive Modeling in Food Systems | Biotechnology, Cellular Agriculture, and Alternative Proteins | Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems |Public Health Nutrition and Global Food Policy | Enology, Brewing, and Fermentation Science | Education, Training, and Extension in Food Science

Submissions are selected through an open call or invitation, reviewed via a double-blind peer review process, and professionally edited for clarity, structure, and impact. Each volume is guided by a guest editor or editorial board of subject experts.

All volumes and chapters will be published under an Open Access model to ensure wide dissemination and accessibility. Scholars interested in contributing a book to our current and future book series are invited to submit a brief proposal directly to the series editors. All proposals (see sample) will go through the standard review process before a decision is made. 

Individual chapters and book proposals go to the series editors. 
Publishing agreement or approval of the book goes to the Director of Book Publications, Dr. Roy Y. Chan, at roy.chan@starscholars.org
