FoodInnova 2010, Preliminary programme

Part 2.- Scientific sessions on 27-29 October

In both cases an unique main session will be held on Monday morning (25 October) and Wednesday morning (27 October). The rest of days, parallel sessions will be held.

DRAFT PROGRAMME FOR PART 1, WORKSHOPS

• Management for food innovation
• Policies for financial support to food innovation
• Universities, research institutes and food companies
• Education and food innovation
• Innovation in Europe
• Case studies (successful applications in food companies)

DRAFT PROGRAMME OF PART 2, SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

• Special topics that will be covered include:
• Nanotechnology (encapsulation, emulsions, materials for packaging,…)
• Packaging (active, biodegradable,…)
• Product and process design
• Food control (sensors, analytical instruments,…)
• Biotechnology (molecular biology, probiotics, starters,…)
• Ohmic technologies (nutrigenomics, proteomics, lipidomics, ….)
• Active ingredients, food matrix and metabolism (functional foods, fat replacers, salt replacers,…)
• Security and safety
• Sustainability
• Food chain management
• As food innovation constitutes a wide concept, the Conference is open to any other relevant topic of interest.
