Records of Agricultural and Food Chemistry Articles

Dear Colleagues,

We aim to create a healthy bridge between the relevant sectors, Turkish and world scientists and public authorities by organizing sustainable congresses for many years together with the Turkish Chemists Society, and to contribute to the production and production of value-added and reliable products for our country. World. While doing this, our main goal has been to create synergy and discussion opportunities by researching and communicating multidisciplinary working ways with chemistry and related majors and stakeholders needed in almost every sector related to production.

Although Türkiye has great opportunities in food production from seed to plate, the full and efficient use of this potential necessitates a total cooperation. As seen in the grain corridor crisis that emerged due to the war in 2022, this is an issue that should be followed with a common mind not only for Türkiye but also for our world.

For this reason, the Republic of Türkiye, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Universities and distinguished institutes from Türkiye and the world - Chemistry, Biology, Food Engineering and Chemical Engineering Departments, Agricultural Engineering, Veterinary Faculties, Health Sciences Faculties, Nutrition and Dietetics Departments, Pharmacy Faculties - We aimed to bring together representatives of the private sector operating in the field of food chemistry and technology, public and private sector officials working in the field of quality control and standardization, halal food, and all stakeholders who can contribute to sustainability.

In this context, the 2nd International Food Chemistry Congress was held as an “international” scientific meeting with the support of the Turkish Chemists Society, Gebze Technical University and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Türkiye, at Antalya Mirage Park Resort between 16 – 19 March 2023.

We would like to thank all our speakers who supported us in the scientific program, achieved international success and visited our country for this congress. In addition to the intensive scientific presentations in the program, we were very happy to establish an important bridge between the University, industry and the public with two workshops organized by our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In addition, the workshops prepared by our companies have made very important contributions to the sector. It is hopeful for our world that our young researchers have the opportunity to present their posters with short oral presentations and the excitement we see in them. Posters were presented for a total of six hours over three days, providing a suitable platform for broad discussion.

The congress summary booklet was published in the special issue of the Congress of Agricultural and Food Chemistry Records and separate doi assignments were made for each abstract. As such, the metadata of your presentations have permanently taken their place in the world literature. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our congress scientific committee, editing committee and ACG PUBLICATIONS publication team.

Authors can submit their studies in full text by registering on the ACG PUBLICATIONS website, along with the stickers and congress participation certificates given by the editorial board to send the studies to the Journal of Agri-Food Chemistry and Chemical Metrology during the congress, to use the template files of the relevant journal and to comply with the spelling rules. Applications that are successful in the peer-review stage will be published in these journals free of charge in accordance with their purpose and scope, and the APC payments of these studies will be made by Troyasil HPLC Column Technologies. I would like to thank Troyasil HPLC technologies for their support.

We are very happy to see that all our brothers and sisters in the world are with us in the great earthquake disaster we experienced at the beginning of 2023.

We would be very happy if you would share your experiences here with your angels when you return to your countries. We hope to see you and our new guests with more presentations at the 3rd International Food Chemistry Congress next year in order to develop new collaborations and joint projects.

Sincerely Yours,

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ceyhan Goren
