New ACS Fellows

Fereidoon Shahidi, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Functional Foods and editor of Food Chemistry, and George Inglett, editorial board member for Journal of Cereal Science, are among  the 192 distinguished scientists who have been named as ACS Fellows by the The American Chemical Society (ACS). This honor is given to those who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in chemistry and made important contributions to ACS, the world’s largest scientific society.

 

TIFS Editor Receives Award

Fidel Toldrá, European editor of Trends in Food Science & Technology, has been honored with the American Meat Science Association’s Distinguished Research Award at the recent Reciprocal Meat Conference.

It was said that Dr. Fidel Toldrá had a profound and deep understanding of biochemical meat changes even as a Ph.D. student. His work since graduate school has borne out his abilities and scientific interests. Dr. Toldrá was a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at Purdue University and a visiting scientist at the University of Wisconsin and at the Institute of Food Research in Langford, Bristol, United Kingdom. Currently, he is employed by Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos (C.S.I.C.) in Valencia, Spain, where he is a research scientist, professor, and head of the meat science laboratory. Dr. Toldrá specializes in food biochemistry, but has also studied nutrition, food technology, food processing, and food flavor development throughout his career. The activities, affiliations, and accomplishments of Dr. Toldrá are extensive, significant, and valuable to the field of meat science both within his home country of Spain and around the globe.
