# Food Chemistry (food-chemistry)

## Journal positioning

Food Chemistry is the Elsevier journal for the chemistry and biochemistry of foods —
composition, bioactive and functional compounds, food analysis and authentication, the
chemistry of processing and storage, and food safety and contaminants. Its defining
expectation is **rigorous analytical chemistry that yields chemical insight**: a
quantified compositional or mechanistic result obtained with properly validated methods,
adequate controls, and defensible quantification. A descriptive screening study with
poorly validated methods, no quantification, or no chemical-mechanism interpretation is a
weak fit, however topical the food matrix. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection /
re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before
submitting, re-check the live Food Chemistry submission guidance.
