The insight to recent developments of food science and technology becomes the competitive edge. This knowledge is provided by the International Review of Food Science and Technology. It covers all current trends in science and regulatory affairs like nanotechnology or health claims and questions of daily practice: aspects of production, processes and packaging in the food and beverage industries and their component suppliers are on the list of topics.
The International Review of Food Science and Technology is read by IUFoST members and the audience attending international conferences and trade fairs world wide like engineers, product developers, managing directors, factory managers, and managers in R&D, project planning, production, and marketing.
