New Food Biopolymer E-Journal

A new e-journal to showcase the latest findings in fundamental and applied aspects of food research has been launched by Universiti Sains Malaysia.

This peer-reviewed free online journal entitled Progress in Food Biopolymer Research (PFBR) is available at http://www.ppti.usm.my/pfbr/. Below is a list of papers and authors published in its inaugural issue. The editors would like to invite scientists involved in food biopolymer research to contribute and publish their work in this new e-journal.
