Significance of the research findings for the food science community and/or industry must also be highlighted. Original research articles as well as review articles as they relate to food structure and functionality are welcomed. The key areas of interest include:i) Food product and ingredient design with programmed functionalityii) Food physical chemistry and materials scienceiii) Computer simulation and mathematical modeling of food structuresiv) Sensory properties and oral processing of foodsv) Novel microscopy, analysis and characterization techniquesFood Structure is an e-only journal (no print) that capitalizes on the use of animation in the form of 'movies', time series and dynamic visualization of food structures (e.g., 3D protein gels or fat crystal networks) from multiple angles - a first for any food-related journal.
