Journal of Food Science and Toxicology

Toxicants and Contaminants in Food is a broad spectrum refers to the presence of the harmful natural toxins and chemicals produced during food manufacturing, and environmental contaminants. It is a significant subject that is emerging in the fields of analytical food toxicology, food safety, heavy metal contaminants, allergens, toxicology, and environmental contaminants. Toxicants and contaminants in the food and agricultural products can be originated from various different sources such as agrochemical residues, natural toxins, polluted environments, and produced toxic compounds during the food processing. The food toxicants and contaminants can give a significant and adverse impact on both public health and economic issue.

At this juncture, Journal of Food Science and Toxicology invoke responses from the researchers, academicians, dietician, nutritionists, pharmacologists and healthcare providers to share their experiences, findings and the research output as research articles, reviews and case studies. The main intention of the special issue is to dispense the myths surrounding the role food in fighting the health disorders and to create awareness on a cross section of readers.

As the globe is challenged with the health burden of coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19) pandemic, scientists are in a rush to develop effective vaccines that target the pathogen, SARS-CoV-2, and to develop efficacious drugs to treat the disease. Within this context, Journal Food Science and Toxicology is delighted to invite interested researchers to submit a paper for possible inclusion in an upcoming Special Issue entitled “Addressing the Importance of Food Toxicology amid COVID-19”. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. This Special Issue seeks to publish both original research papers and reviews on a wide range of research topics related to the food toxic effects of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, focusing on but not limited to vaccine and drug safety, food toxicity modeling, and toxicity assessment.
