About Us

About the Journal

Hygienic Engineering and Design is a multidisciplinary science which is rapidly taking global momentum. Already becoming a food safety prerequisite in a continually growing number of food producing companies and food equipment manufacturers, the food scientific community and various public authorities are quickly grasping its diverse importance.

The Journal of Hygienic Engineering and Design, thus, represents a platform for the publication of research, evidence-based studies, investigations and experience on all scientific and expert aspects for: equipment and components, hygienic principles, processing, utilities, services, food production and processing, food quality and safety and education. 

It is a peer reviewed, open-access journal, intended to reveal and incorporate new approaches, innovations and expert opinions, striving for the highest possible global scientific standards.

The first JHED volume was issued in 2011, at the first World Congress in Hygienic Engineering and Design, which took place in Ohrid, Macedonia, from 22-25th of September. This first issue included 75 practical and science based papers from 19 countries worldwide: The Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain, Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, Ireland, Sweden, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Russia, Armenia and USA. These papers, reviewed by the Congress Scientific Committee of 32 members, covered all three main areas regarding the food industry: Hygienic Engineering and Design, Food Quality & Safety and Food Production & Processing.

This first issue was only present in the form of a hard copy.
The second issue, and others following it, continued both in hard copy and electronic versions.

Beside the manuscripts, JHED’s content is extended to industry and consumer needs. JHED’s website is a source of new developments, technologies and innovations within the food and beverage industry around the world. It represents a source of information for all key decision makers throughout the world and represents an essential reading and networking platform for anyone involved in this sector.
