Preventive Nutrition and Food Science (Prev Nurt Food Sci; PNF) is a journal that publishes original scientific work on preventive nutrition for preventing disease and promoting health status, and its related food science and biotechnology. The scope of PNF specially covers the preventive effects of nutrients and food components on chronic disease development and modification of their bioactivity by food processing.

The journal will cover the field of nutritional biochemistry, molecular nutrition, functional foods, nutraceuticals in the area of preventive nutrition, as well as food safety, food microbiology, food chemistry, food processing, food packaging etc. and other relevant aspects of nutrients and food components in disease prevention and health promotion.
