We are currently seeking original research articles, critical reviews, study reviews, short commentaries and
book reviews on all aspects of potato (Solanum tuberosum) composition, including nutrient composition of cultivated and wild potato
varieties, bioactive non-nutrients and anti-nutrients in potatoes; biodiversity and nutrition studies related to potatoes; seasonal and
geographic variability in composition; changes in nutrient content from preparation and processing; use of potato data, including nutritional
epidemiology, clinical research, agro-biodiversity, food security and food trade. Papers selected after peer-review will be included
in a highly visible, widely distributed Special Issue of the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis in recognition of 2008
as the International Year of the Potato. To submit a paper, please review the Guide for Authors and submit through the Elsevier
on-line system http://ees.elsevier.com/jfca. Please contact jfca@fao.org with any questions..

Description
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis is an official publication of the International Network of Food Data Systems
- INFOODS-of the United Nations University, and is sponsored by the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Eight issues are published each year.
This journal is devoted to
all scientific aspects of the composition of human foods, and emphasizes new methods of analysis; data on composition of foods; studies
on the production, compilation and dissemination of food composition data; studies on the statistics and distribution of such data and
data systems; and studies related to data use, including nutritional epidemiology, clinical research, agro-biodiversity, food security
and food trade. The journal has a strong base in nutrient composition, but places equal emphasis on bioactive non-nutrients and anti-nutrients
in foods.
Features:
• Original research • Short communications • Critical reviews • Study
reviews • Commentaries
Research Areas Include:
• New and rapid methods of analyses • Nutrient,
bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient data • Data on wild and under-utilized foods, including intra-varietal differences
• Computer technology and information systems theory directly relating to food composition database development, management,
and utilization • Processes of development and selection of single-value entries for food composition tables • Quality
control procedures and standard reference materials for use in the assay of food components • Statistical and mathematical
manipulations involved with the preparation and utilization of food composition data
Database coverage includes AGORA, AGRICOLA, Biological Abstracts, CAB ABSTRACTS, CAB HEALTH, Current Contents, Dairy Science Abstracts, Food Science and Technology Abstracts,
Foodline (R): Food Science and Technology, Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Vitis Viticulture and Enology
Abstracts.
