ACS Food Science & Technology is an international forum for cutting-edge original research in all areas of food science, technology, engineering, and nutrition.

This interdisciplinary journal is focused on reports of new research related to characterization, development, processing, and safety of foods, as well as food waste and byproducts as sources of food additives. The journal encourages submissions across all areas of fundamental and applied research in food sciences, with a special emphasis on topics including, but not limited to, areas of:

• Food security: Food science and microbiology; food toxicology and chemical food safety; nutrition; novel foods.
• Food preservation: Food quality and authenticity/origin; food engineering; food processing and packaging; nanotechnology and materials science in food.
• Health-promoting food ingredients: Functional foods; bioavailability and microbiome.

Original work on all fields of ornithology, without any geographical limitation, is published in Acrocephalus. However, articles covering the south-eastern European and eastern Mediterranean regions are particularly encouraged. Review articles, original articles, points-of-view, specialist and scientific comments (Editorial, Forum), short communications, short notes ('From the ornithological notebook'), diploma abstracts and book reviews (New books) are considered for publication. Contributions can be published in English or Slovene.
