GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The manuscript has these sections: title, authors, affiliations, corresponding author’s contact details, abstract, keywords, introduction (background and objectives), methods, results and discussion, conclusions, acknowledgment, and list of references.

The manuscript is typed using MS Word and Times New Roman font at size 12, with a 4 cm left margin and 3 cm right, top, and bottom margins. It should be 20 pages at maximum, with 1.5 space. Appendices are unnecessary. The manuscript should be given line numbers at the left margin and be written in English. Figures should be sent in JPEG format. Decimals should be written using a dot, not a comma (22.5% or 22.5); numbers in thousands and millions should be written using a comma (Rp 25,500 or $ 1,000); large numbers can be written in words (2 million for 2,000,000). All submitted works will be checked by anti-plagiarism software with a maximum similarity percentage of 20%.

TITLE PAGE
Title. The manuscript title consists of important and interesting keywords (variables), and it is not necessarily the same as the research report/final project title. Use of words such as “influence”, “relationship”, and “analysis” should be avoided. The title should be written in English, comprising 10−15 words. A running title (6−8 words) for the header should be provided.

Authors. The list of authors consists of full names of authors (without academic titles), institutions/affiliations with full address and postal codes, and the phone number as well as electronic mail (e-mail) address of the corresponding author.

Abstract. The abstract briefly describes the research objectives, methods, results, and implications in a single paragraph. It should be written in not more than 300 words with single spacing. Keywords should reflect the content of the manuscript. Keywords consist of 3−5 words and should be alphabetized.

CONTENT PAGE
Introduction. The introduction consists of the background of the study and research objectives. The background of the study should explain the state of the art of the topic by referring to pieces of local and international literature as primary references.

Methods. The methods section consists of these subchapters: research design, research location and time; sampling method (survey), subjects/sample materials, data collection methods/procedures, and analytical tools (laboratory); and data analysis methods.

The author must write the ethical clearance number of his or her research. No tables or figures should be added to this part.

Result and Discussion. This section should be written in one chapter. The results section presents data on the characteristics of the subjects/samples and the research findings, while the discussion section contains arguments that relate and compare the findings with scientific theories, concepts, and findings from other pieces of research. The discussion section should be meaningful and not merely showcase the results (tables and figures). Implications of the research findings should be highlighted and supported using primary references.

Conclusion. This section contains answers to the research objectives, and it should not be a summary of the results.

To provide recommendations is optional. Recommendations should be written in a separate paragraph within the conclusion section.  They can be implications for programs and future research that are important to be carried out based on the current research results.

Acknowledgment. This section contains acknowledgments to research grant donors or sponsors, contributors of samples/materials, and providers of research facilities. Individual names should be written without their academic titles.

Declaration of Conflict of Interest. Write down "The authors have no conflict of interest" if the authors do not have any conflict of interest in preparing the manuscript.

LIST OF REFERENCES
List only references cited in the manuscript. Use relatively new references (should be from the last 10 years), with the ratio of primary references about 80%. There should be 10−20 references and less than 30, and at least one should be an article published in Jurnal Gizi dan Pangan (Indonesian Journal of Nutrition and Food). The referencing style should follow the Harvard system, containing the name(s) and year arranged alphabetically based on the authors’ last name(s). A maximum of 10 author names can be written; if there are more than ten authors in a reference, write the first 10 authors, followed by et al.

In-text citation is differentiated between writing it at the beginning and writing it at the end of a sentence, e.g., for a single author: Khomsan (2014) or (Khomsan 2014); for two authors: Khomsan and Sukandar (2010) or (Khomsan & Sukandar 2010); for more than two authors Khomsan et al. (2013) or (Khomsan et al. 2013).
