Measurement: Food is an open access journal welcoming original, high-quality contributions from all relevant fields of measurement science as applied to food systems.Measurement: Food is a companion journal to Measurement: Journal of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO).The journal encourages the submission of manuscripts reporting significant advances in this highly topical and multi-disciplinary subject. All submitted manuscripts must point out the appropriate indicators of performance or metrics necessary to evaluate the results of investigation. Critical and comprehensive reviews addressing the role of measurement science in food systems are also encouraged. The journal warmly welcomes global submissions – from developed and less developed settings.Topics include, but are not limited, to:Innovative measurement techniques, methods, instrumentation, (bio)markers, and monitoring approaches for food safety, food quality and nutrition investigations covering aspects such as contaminants, ingredients, allergens, food composition, authenticity, and microbial quality, as well as food intake, and nutrition epidemiology. Studies addressing attenuation of misreporting or evaluation of indices are also welcome.Research on standardization methods, reference materials, proficiency, and intercomparison studies.The role of metrology in food production, stabilisation, storage, handling, surveillance, trade, and regulations.Studies in nutrition that apply metrological principles, including methodological research on dietary and food intake data.Studies exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within food systems, with a focus on transformative impact of AI on food development, production processes, quality analysis, safety assurance, and the personalization of nutrition and dietary plans.Metrological approaches to optimizing food-related biotechnological processes in bioreactors, with a focus on methodologies that enable precise control of environmental conditions. The scope covers strategies to ensure process efficiency, product quality and consistency, regulatory compliance, safety, and scalability in food bioprocessing.Studies exploring the characteristics, resilience, traceability and sustainability of food systems.Notes:Papers should adhere to metrological principles, using standardized and validated methods, calibrated equipment, and explicitly mentioning data uncertainty and traceability. The disciplined use of internationally adopted metrological terms is essential. Additionally, the paper must clearly describe the measurement context in which the research was conducted. Papers lacking elements of measurement science will not be considered within the journal’s scope. To help reviewers evaluate the paper properly and avoid publication delays, authors are urged to clearly state the number of biological/experimental and technical replicates.
