OBJECTIVE To show that nutrition science is anchored in food systems and is influenced by the social, through the environmental to the cosmological, life's connections and rhythms. To indicate that an integrative approach is now becoming possible with advances in food technology, in the understanding of food choice and of human behaviour, and in a preparedness to recognise nutritional inputs in...

Many works have appeared in various scientifically reputable journals and publications worldwide that seem to have made potential or satisfactory contribution to our knowledge on the functions and utilization of gelatin — an important source of animal protein. Irrespective of these worldwide publications, room still exists for more work to be done to fully understand the utilization, chemical, ...

The wealth of genomic information and high-throughput profiling technologies are now being exploited by scientists in the disciplines of nutrition and food science. Diet and food components are prime environmental factors that affect the genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, and this life-long interaction defines the health or disease state of an individual. For the first time the int...

Nutritional science consists of multiple overlapping disciplines: agricultural science including animal husbandry; food science; public health; nutritional physiology; and therapeutic or clinical nutrition. The application of nutritional science to clinical practice has undoubtedly resulted in improved survival and improved quality of life in certain groups of patients. It has also resulted in ...

The science of food has evolved significantly over the last two decades with numerous specialized journals available to promote scientific communication. While most journals continue to push for cutting-edge technologies in order to boost their impact factor, it is important to point out that the full impact of research conducted in food science and nutrition cannot simply be represented by a c...
