Global Harmonization Initiative (GHI) members are invited to attend and participate in the 30th EFFoST International Conference
, which will be held 28-30 November 2016 at the Austrian Economic Chamber in Vienna, Austria .

The conference will be held under the theme: Targeted Technologies for Sustainable Food Systems. The meeting is organized by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) on behalf of the European Federation of Food Science and Technology.

The theme of the conference and the topics reflect the demand for sustainable food systems to address specific consumer needs and preferences. The availability of targeted technologies is one critical bottleneck for product innovations leading to environmentally friendly food processes and the introduction of scalable and flexible food manufacturing techniques.  

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 20 MAY 2016
Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on a number of topics. They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system. The deadline for submissions is 20 May 2016. Conference topics include:
  • Emerging agricultural concepts and use of new raw materials for sustainable food production
  • Water management and resource efficient food processing in the Danube region and beyond 
  • Food safety - analysis, control and prevention of microbial and chemical contaminants in food 
  • New paths for targeted food processing - design of new and re-evaluation of traditional techniques and ingredients 
  • Non-thermal technologies and process combinations - analytic approaches and mechanistic insights
  • Food and health - food composition, structure design, digestion and ingredient bioavailability, gut microbiome
  • Sensor technology and quality monitoring during processing and storage
  • Modeling and simulation of food matrix properties and processing technologies
  • Food consumer science - sensory perception, emerging consumer needs and expectations
  • Microencapsulation for food applications - special topic endorsed by BRG

MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND GHI's SPECIAL SESSION

Attendees are encouraged to make plans to attend the Global Harmonization Initiative's special topic session!

Special Topic Session | Tuesday, 29 November
Regulations and Legislation for Food Safety, Quality and Innovation

Today, innovative food ingredients and products are regulated to ensure that, before being marketed, they have been assessed as safe and wholesome. Regulatory science does have a significant impact on food innovation today. Harmonizing regulations globally will facilitate the application of new technologies, encouraging the food industry to invest in such technologies to ensure safety and quality for consumers.

Supported by these organizations and more!
