instructions to authors:
The Food Science and Biotechnology (Food Sci. Biotechnol.; FSB), an international journal published bimonthly by the Korean Society of Food Science and Technology (KoSFoST), provides results of original research on the physical, chemical, biological, and health aspects of food science and technology, and includes reviews related to food science and biotechnology. The Journal has been covered in Current Contents® and Science Citation Index Expanded® from 2003.
Manuscripts Manuscripts include original research articles, notes, and reviews. The manuscripts submitted for publication must contain no materials that violate any copyright or other personal or proprietary right of any person or entity.
Submission of Manuscript FSB FSB operates an on-line submission system. Details of how to submit online and full author instructions can be found at: http://www. kosfost.or.kr, or www.fsnb.or.kr. Papers in a series are not accepted. Membership in KoSFoST is not a prerequisite for submission of manuscript for publication.
Editorial Procedures and Peer Review All manuscripts are subject to peer review for the validity of the experimental design and results, significance, and appropriateness for the Journal. Manuscripts written by authors who are unsure of proper English usage should be checked by someone proficient in the English language before submission. Manuscripts failing to meet the standards or poorly written or formatted are editorially rejected without further review.
The author may submit the names and addresses including e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of 4 potential reviewers; however, the Editor-in-Chief is not under obligation to use the listed individuals. Typically, 2 reviewers are selected.
The author is expected to respond to all reviewers' comments either by making appropriate revisions or stating why the comments are unreasonable. The Editor will consider the revisions, and recommend to the Editor-in-Chief to either accept or reject the manuscript. The author will then be informed by the Editor-in-Chief of the final decision.
During the submission process, the author may track the process of his or her manuscript at any time by logging onto the Web site. For this purpose, the author will need user ID number and password.
Copyright A properly completed 'Transfer of Copyright Form' must be provided for each submitted manuscript. The corresponding author is asked to sign it on behalf of all authors before the manuscript is published. A form is available from the Web site.
Proofs Authors will receive galley proofs via e-mail and should be returned within 48 hours. No paper is released for publication until the author's corrected proof has been received.
Page Charges A page charge is effective for all manuscripts on original research. A review is exempt from page charges, provided it is approved in advance by the Editor-in-Chief. The actual charge per printed page will be notified to the author along with the manuscript for galley proofs.
Reprints Twenty free reprints will be shipped to the corresponding author within 2 weeks after the printed journal date. For additional reprints, the authors should fill out a reprint order form and submit it to the journal office.
Instructions for Manuscript Preparation
Manuscript Format for Research Articles Manuscripts must be double-spaced with a recent version of word processor (Microsoft Word) in English (American spelling and usage). All pages must be numbered consecutively starting with the title page and including tables and figures. Lines in the abstract and text should be consecutively numbered in a separate column at the left. A standard font, in a size of 12 points, must be used. Use 2 commas in a series of 3 items (A, B, and C).
Abbreviations must not be used at first use in the text. Spell out the word(s) at first use and give the abbreviation in parentheses. Abbreviate 'equation' or 'figure' only if you are using the word with a figure number. Do not abbreviate if 'Equation' or 'Figure' begins the sentence, even if you are using the word with an equation number or a figure number. If citing more than one equation or figure, do not make the abbreviation plural (for example, 'Eq. 1 and 2' or 'Fig. 1 and 2' is correct).
The manuscript should be assembled in the following sequence:
Title and Authorship (single page)
Abstract and Keywords (single page)
Introduction
Materials and Methods
Results and Discussion
Acknowledgments
References
Appendix
Figure Captions
Tables (one table per page)
Figures (one figure per page)
1. Title page (p. 1)
The title page should include the title, full names, institutional affiliations with mailing addresses including city name (in case of small cities), province name, postal code, country name of all authors, short version of title (less than 50 letters and spaces), and names and contact information of 4 suggested reviewers.
If the affiliations of the authors are different, authors different from the first author should be marked with superscript numeral designation.
The name of the corresponding author to whom inquiries about the paper should be addressed must be marked with an asterisk and provide the telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address. If the current address of any author is different, include it in a footnote on the title page.
2. Abstract page (p. 2)
The abstract should be a clear, concise, one-paragraph summary giving what was done, how it was done, significant results, and major conclusions. Do not use such statements starting 'I~' or 'We~' or 'Results are discussed'. Abstract must be 150 words or less.
List 5 keywords for indexing purposes.
3. Introduction (starting on p. 3)
Introduction should include a brief review of pertinent work citing key references, and objectives of the work. Text that does not exceed 2 typed pages is recommended.
4. Materials and Methods
Specific experimental methods should be sufficiently detailed so the work can be repeated. New methods must be described in detail, but the accepted methods can be described briefly with references.
For special equipment, reagents, kits, etc., the source, city, state, and country should be specified in parentheses. Biological materials should be identified by the scientific name (genus, species, and if necessary, authority and family) and cultivar, if appropriate, together with the site from which the samples were obtained.
If variation within a treatment (coefficient of variation, that is, the standard deviation divided by the mean) is less than 10% and the difference among treatment means is greater than 3 standard deviations, it is not necessary to conduct a statistical analysis. If the data do not meet these criteria, statistical analysis must be conducted.
5. Results and Discussion
Present and discuss results concisely, using tables and figures, comparing with previous work. Do not present the same information in tables and figures. Avoid comparisons or contrasts that are not pertinent and avoid speculation unsupported by the data obtained. Since a separate conclusion section is not to be used, any concluding statements are to be incorporated under Results and Discussion.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and should be grouped at the end of the manuscript. Footnotes in tables should be given numeral designations and be cited in the table by superscript. The sequence of numerals should proceed by row. Tables with only a few values should be written into the text. Do not include data that are not discussed in the text. Round off numbers to significant digits.
Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and should be grouped at the end of the manuscript. Figures must fit one- or two-column format on the journal page. It is strongly recommended to submit illustrations in the actual size at which they should appear in the journal. One-column width is 84.0 mm; two-column width is 173 mm.
6. Acknowledgments
List sources of financial or material support and the names of individuals whose contributions were significant but not deserving of authorship.
7. References
References should be listed and numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references.
References format is described below.
8. Appendix
Complicated calculations and detailed nomenclature are listed.
Manuscript for Research NotesResearch Notes are brief reports of limited scope that contribute new knowledge. The formatting is the same as the Research Articles. It should not exceed 6 typewritten pages, excluding tables and figures. The abstract must be less than 100 words. The tables and figures are limited up to 3 in any combination.
Manuscript for Reviews The reviews are invited by the Editorial Board. Alternatively, potential authors considering the preparation of a review article should contact the Editorin-Chief to suggest the topic and outline in the form of major headings and a summary statement. FSB covers 2 types of reviews: one is a comprehensive review and the other is a mini review, which is a brief summary of developments in fast moving areas related to food science and biotechnology.
The basic format for reviews is title page, abstract, introduction, main text, and references. Summary tables and figures dealing with key points should be used liberally. Use headings and subheadings in the main text as needed.
Formatting References References should be cited only necessary publications and used primary rather than secondary references when possible.
It is acceptable to cite work that is accepted but not published with the pertinent year and volume number of the reference. Works that are 'submitted', 'unpublished', and 'personal communications' are not accepted. The Journal titles must be abbreviated according to ISI Journal Abbreviation Index.
In Text References should be cited in the text by a number in parentheses.
Examples:
One reference: It was reported that (1).
Two references: It has been known that (1,5).
More than two references: .....have been reported (1,3,8 or 1-3).

Units of measurement FSB uses the SI system (often referred to International Units) for most units of measurement. Some exceptions are listed below. Commonly used empirical units are permissible.
cal = calorie
kcal = kilocalorie
cm = centimeter
cp = centipoise
sec = second
min = minute
hr = hour
L = liter
g = gram
M = molar
mol = mole
N = normal
% = percent (designate w/v, v/v or w/w in lower case)
ppm = part per million
ppb = part per billion
oBx = Brix
Da = Dalton
CFU = colony forming unit
Mw = molecular weight
Aw = water activity
Never use a plural form for the symbols; 30 kgs would be incorrect. Give a space between measurement and number (for example, 25 mm) but no space between number and degree sign (for example, 25oC) and % sign (for example, 35%). The range is formatted as 0.3-0.9 g.
