Food Biophysics

Journal Title：Food Biophysics

Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.

A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.

食品和農產品的生物物理研究涉及化學、生物學和工程學的交叉學科研究，以及材料科學和納米技術等新的跨學科領域。此類研究包括但不限于以下領域的研究：食品分子、生物聚合物和生物材料的分子、微觀和中觀尺度結構；特定食品、飼料、食品加工操作和農產品中結構生成和維持的分子基礎；微生物生長、死亡和抗菌作用的機制；食品和農業生物聚合物的結構/功能關系；用于食品和農業材料和產品結構和動態表征的新型生物物理技術（光譜、微觀、熱學、流變學等）；無定形生物材料的性質及其對化學反應速率、微生物生長或感官特性的影響；以及味覺和嗅覺的分子機制。

此類研究的一個特點是依賴各種儀器分析方法，這些方法提供分子水平的信息，依賴各種物理和化學理論來理解生物分子之間的相互關系，并試圖將宏觀化學和物理特性和生物功能與生物材料的分子結構和微觀組織聯系起來。
