Abstract

In the Republic of Korea, the Framework Act on Food Safety has been implemented to ensure public health and safety by focusing on the formulation and coordination of food safety policies. In response to the rapidly changing environment, the Regulatory Science Innovation Act on the Safety and Commercialization Support of Food, Drugs, and Other Products was recently introduced to establish an institutional foundation for the swift commercialization of innovative products and ensure their safety. However, many issues need to be discussed regarding the application of regulatory science in the field of food safety. This study aimed to review the principles and characteristics of food safety regulations and derive the concept and role of food regulatory science. Food regulatory science serves as a critical tool for translating the fundamental principles of food regulation into policy. Prioritizing the advancement of research and development, training on specialized human resources, and establishing a robust support system for commercialization are essential to achieving this objective. This approach will facilitate the development and implementation of policies based on food regulatory science in the Republic of Korea.

期刊介绍： The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
