As an academic researcher, it is very important to publish a research paper in peer-reviewed journals. But the fact is the journal in which you publish matters a lot. So-called predatory journals are increasing in this information technology era. You should make sure you publish your valuable research paper in a good journal. Reputed institutions take this in a serious note and recognise publications only when it is done in such reputed journals. Here I bring you top 10 journals in the field of food science.

Food Chemistry(Elsevier)
ISSN:0308-8146 E-ISSN:1873-7072
Food Chemistry provides genuine research papers which covers the advancement of chemistry and biochemistry of foods or the used analytical approaches. It includes:
- Chemistry relating to major and minor components of food, their nutritional, physiological, sensory, flavour and microbiological aspects;
- Bioactive constituents of foods, including antioxidants, phytochemicals, and botanicals. Data must accompany sufficient discussion to demonstrate their relevance to food and/or food chemistry;
- Chemical and biochemical composition and structure changes in molecules induced by processing, distribution and domestic conditions;
- Effects of processing on the composition, quality and safety of foods, other bio-based materials, by-products, and processing wastes;
- Chemistry of food additives, contaminants, and other agro-chemicals, together with their metabolism, toxicology and food fate.
