 LWT - Food Science and Technology Invites Reviews
LWT - Food Science and Technology, known for publishing high quality research articles, is expanding its content to include timely reviews.
As the Reviews Editor, Dr. Shridhar K. Sathe, explains: “It is an exciting time for the journal and its readership. The excitement is twofold. The recent news of increased impact factor of the journal indicates quality manuscripts submitted by the authors. The readers in turn find the published articles to be useful in their own research undertakings and consider LWT to be an important component of the literature review authors conduct. With the inclusion of timely reviews we believe that the journal will be more useful to its readers.”

 Wine: nutrients, bioactive non-nutrients and more
Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, Volume 21, Issue 8, Pages 587-742 (December 2008)
The word “food” has many definitions, but it is reasonable to give preference to that provided by the Codex Alimentarius Commission: Food means any substance, whether processed, semi-processed or raw, which is intended for human consumption, and includes drink…” Thus, wine is food, and a fair topic for the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, as would be beer, brandy, and other beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

 Cereal Foods
Food Research International, Volume 41, Issue 9, pp. 849-940 (November 2008)
This special issue is dedicated to The 50th anniversary of Jiangnan University (November 16, 2008) and The 1st anniversary of the China–Canada Science Innovation Centre on Food.
China has become one of the five most important economies in the world. Cereal foods industries, which make up the mainstream food industry in China, play a critical role in this booming market. In order to promote economic and scientific cooperation and collaboration, across regions and borders, for the safe production of nutritious food, the 1ST International Forum on Cereal Science (2006’IFCS) with the theme of “Cereal Foods: Cooperation and Opportunities Across Borders” was successfully held in Wuxi, China on October 18–21, 2006.

 EFSA Forum: From Safe Food to Healthy Diets
Trends in Food Science & Technology, Volume 19, Supplement 1, pp. S1-S120 (November 2008)
On 20–21 November 2007 in Brussels, the European Food Safety Authority organised a Scientific Forum as part of a series of events to mark the fifth anniversary of its inception. Entitled From Safe Food to Healthy Diets, the Forum brought together an international audience of 500 scientists and other interested parties to debate some of the more topical issues in European food safety. With over 40 countries represented, the agenda was very varied and covered some of the newer high-tech issues such as nanotechnology, intelligent food packaging and GMOs as well as more established ones such as chemical and microbiological risks and animal welfare. This Special Issue presents peer-reviewed papers by speakers at the Forum who agreed to deliver a paper on the basis of their presentation.
