# Food Chemistry (food-chemistry) ## Journal positioning Food Chemistry is the Elsevier journal for the chemistry and biochemistry of foods — composition, bioactive and functional compounds, food analysis and authentication, the chemistry of processing and storage, and food safety and contaminants. Its defining expectation is **rigorous analytical chemistry that yields chemical insight**: a quantified compositional or mechanistic result obtained with properly validated methods, adequate controls, and defensible quantification. A descriptive screening study with poorly validated methods, no quantification, or no chemical-mechanism interpretation is a weak fit, however topical the food matrix. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Food Chemistry submission guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Food Chemistry and wants a fit/framing check for a food-chemistry paper. - A compositional, bioactive-compound, or food-analysis result must be re-framed around its chemical mechanism or analytical advance rather than a single product survey. - The author is choosin

What does the food-chemistry skill do?
Use when targeting Food Chemistry or deciding whether a food-chemistry manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the analytical-rigor and chemical-mechanism bar, method-validation expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill food-chemistry --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
