Focus and Scope

The Journal of Food, Nutrition, and Health Advances (JFNH Advances) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, evidence-based research that bridges the interrelated disciplines of food science, nutritional health, and medical sciences.

The primary aim of JFNH Advances is to provide a premier academic platform for researchers, clinical practitioners, academicians, and policymakers to disseminate innovative findings, explore the mechanisms of dietary interventions, and improve holistic human health outcomes. The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary approaches that translate scientific discoveries into practical health solutions.

To maintain a highly focused and impactful scientific discourse, JFNH Advances strictly welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, short communications, and clinical case studies that fall within the following core thematic areas:

1. Food Science and Technology

  • Innovations in food processing, preservation, and packaging technologies.

  • Food chemistry, food microbiology, and food safety standards.

  • Development of novel food products and sensory evaluation.

2. Nutritional Sciences

  • Public health nutrition and community-based dietary interventions.

  • Clinical nutrition, dietetics, and personalized nutrition.

  • Molecular nutrition, nutrigenomics, and the study of macronutrient and micronutrient metabolism.

3. Medical and Clinical Sciences

  • Clinical research on the role of nutrition in the prevention and management of chronic and acute diseases.

  • Clinical pathology and laboratory diagnostics related to nutritional status and metabolic disorders.

  • Nutritional strategies in surgical patient care, including comprehensive prehabilitation frameworks and post-operative recovery.

4. Health and Wellness

  • Preventive medicine, health promotion, and lifestyle interventions.

  • Medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, and their synergy with nutritional support to improve patient functional outcomes.

  • Epidemiological studies on diet, lifestyle, and population health.

5. Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals

  • Development, characterization, and clinical efficacy of bioactive compounds and dietary supplements.

  • Health benefits and therapeutic potentials of fermented plant-based drinks and probiotic/prebiotic formulations.

  • Extraction and utilization of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.

6. Nursing Science

  • Evidence-based nursing practices and patient care management.

  • The role of nursing in administering and monitoring nutritional therapy.

  • Community nursing and health education regarding dietary habits.

7. Dentistry Science

  • The impact of diet and nutrition on oral health and dental caries prevention.

  • Nutritional implications in oral surgery recovery and periodontal diseases.

  • Advancements in dental care and preventive dentistry.

8. Sustainable Food Systems and Policy

  • Food security, environmental sustainability in food production, and agricultural innovations affecting food quality.

  • Public health policies, food regulations, and consumer behavior regarding food choices.

  • Strategies to reduce food waste and promote sustainable diets.

Out of Scope: JFNH Advances does not publish articles that focus solely on agricultural agronomy, animal husbandry without a direct link to human food consumption, or purely speculative, non-evidence-based alternative medicine. Manuscripts that do not align with the focus and scope of the journal will be strictly rejected at the desk review stage.
