The Journal publishes research results dealing with the chemistry and biochemistry of agriculture and food with a focus on original research representing complete studies, rather than incremental studies. Topics covered include chemical/biochemical composition and the effects of processing on the composition and safety of foods, feeds, and other products from agriculture, including wood and other bio-based materials, byproducts, and wastes. It covers the chemistry of pesticides, veterinary drugs, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, and other agro-chemicals, together with their metabolism, toxicology, and environmental fate. In addition, JAFC reports on the chemical processes involved in nutrition, phytonutrients, flavors, and aromas.Out of 44 journals in the Agriculture, Multidisciplinary category,�Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry�is the #1 journal in total citations (56,340),� #2 in ISI� Impact Factor (2.469), and #1 articles published (1,588).�Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry�is also the #1 ranked journal in total citations in Applied Chemistry and Food Science and Technology.
