Journal of Food Technology Research (JFTR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the science and technology of food. The journal serves as a multidisciplinary forum for the global exchange of high-quality scientific knowledge, technological developments, and practical innovations in all areas of food research. Its primary aim is to disseminate original research findings, emerging theories, experimental methods, and technological advancements that enhance the understanding, safety, quality, sustainability, and functionality of food systems.
We welcome contributions from a wide spectrum of professionals, including scientists, engineers, researchers, academicians, nutritionists, technologists, and industry experts across the globe. The journal seeks to break down traditional boundaries by encouraging cross-disciplinary approaches and global collaboration. Submissions that integrate scientific knowledge with industrial applications, and that propose innovative solutions to current challenges in food production, processing, packaging, and consumption, are especially encouraged.
The Journal of Food Technology Research aims not only to publish theoretical and empirical research but also to foster innovation that can directly benefit public health, environmental sustainability, and food security worldwide.

Submission Acknowledgement
Upon successful manuscript submission via the online system, authors will automatically receive an acknowledgment email. For submissions via email, the editorial office will send a confirmation message to the corresponding author within one to three working days.
Initial Screening
Each submitted manuscript undergoes a preliminary review by the Editor or Editorial Manager to assess alignment with the journal’s aims and scope. A plagiarism check using CrossCheck powered by iThenticate is conducted at this stage. Manuscripts that fall outside the scope or exhibit plagiarism or self-plagiarism are rejected without external peer review.
Peer Review Process
JFTR employs a double-blind peer review system, ensuring the anonymity of both authors and reviewers. Manuscripts are evaluated by three experts—typically two external reviewers and one editorial board member. The peer review process generally takes 3 to 5 weeks, and the editorial decision is communicated to the all author via email.
