FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:? Primarily concerned with food formulation? That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them? That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves? That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour? Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,? Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.The journal publishes regular special issues focusing on specific topicsCore topic areas:Biotechnology and bioprocessing? Biocatalysis and biotransformations? Bioprocess modelling and optimisation? Bioseparation? Fermentation and cell culture? Bioreactor design, instrumentation and control? Microbial physiology and engineering metabolic? Production formulation? Sterile processing? Systems biology and biological engineering?

FBP的目標是成為主要的國際期刊，在工程和科學的分支機構發表高質量的原創論文，致力于生物產品的安全加工。它是唯一一本利用生物技術、生物加工和食品工程之間的協同作用的雜志。特別受歡迎的論文介紹了研究成果如何應用于工程設計，以及實驗或理論研究工作的敘述，為既定原則帶來新的視角，突出未解決的問題或指明未來研究的方向。鼓勵對設備或工藝的新發展作出貢獻，并給予定量表達。該雜志尤其對那些擴大食品和生物制品加工范圍的論文感興趣。該雜志非常強調工程與食品或生物制品之間的聯系。不可能發表的論文包括：?主要關注食品配方?使用實驗設計技術獲得響應面，但對其了解甚少?這是經驗模型，忽略了已建立的機械模型，例如經驗干燥曲線。?主要關注感官評價和顏色?關注特定生物材料的提取、封裝和/或抗氧化活性，而不提供適用于類似但不同材料的見解，?僅包含生物材料的化學分析。這本雜志定期出版專刊，專攻特定主題。核心主題領域：生物技術和生物加工?生物催化和生物轉化?生物過程建模和優化?生物分離?發酵和細胞培養?生物反應器設計、儀表和控制?微生物生理學和工程代謝?生產配方?無菌處理?系統生物學和生物工程?納米生物技術生物精煉與綜合生物資源工程?生物精煉廠的工藝集成?與生物煉油廠一體化相關的原料分餾和分離?生物精煉廠和食品能源與水的關系?生物煉油廠價值鏈優化?將生物精煉概念與食品加工相結合?新的功能性食品原料和非食品原料，通過生物精煉廠的背景使其可行。?生物煉油廠可持續性指標?生物精煉系統的動態建模和分析食品飲料工藝工程?食品安全工程?食品制造中的環境問題?最小處理技術?包裝?工廠、工藝和產品設計?加工和微觀結構相互作用?食品工程中的單元操作、過程建模和優化衛生制造與產品安全?污染和清潔?良好制造規范?危害分析?加熱和冷卻方法，包括冷凍、巴氏滅菌和熱滅菌?衛生設計?非熱處理?過程分析技術（PAT）?法規和驗證。
