Future Foods is a dedicated Journal to address the challenges of climate change and sustainability in food production.
A transformation of the way food is currently manufactured and consumed is necessary to feed an ever-growing population whilst limiting its environmental impact.
Future Foods publishes re-search that embodies the objective of developing new technologies and food sources for more sustainable food systems.
This Journal will seek contributions including, but not limited to the areas:
• Clean food processing:
Eco-friendly food processing technologies that require utilisation of less re-sources (raw materials, water and energy).
• New food ingredients:
Examples include the use of new ingredients with reduced environmental im-pact and carbon footprint such as plant- based ingredients and alternative pro-teins sources (algae, insects...), in-vitro "meat", etc.
• Food sidestreams minimization and utilisation:
Technologies and processes for 'whole of product' utilisation to minimise losses during food production, and utilisation of food processing by-products into new products for added value.
• Innovative technologies:
New technologies such as 3D printing, AI, etc. as long as it affects the envi-ronmental impact.
• Sustainable packaging:
Sustainable and innovative packaging solutions for the foods that can include:
- Eco-design of packaging
- Sustainable packaging, edible packaging
- Active and intelligent packaging, nanotechnology in smart packaging
- Micro and nanomaterials in sustainable food packaging
- Recycling of food packaging materials.
• Consumers studies:
Acceptance studies and sensory analysis related to the above topics
