Food Chemistry is the leading journal in its field, publishing and disseminating important research at the heart of food science literature. The 2027 conference will bring together global food professionals, including journal editors, board members, authors, reviewers, academics, government agencies, R&D specialists, equipment/service suppliers and policymakers. To foster an environment of collaboration, the conference encourages knowledge sharing, and the establishment of vibrant partnerships that bridge fundamental research and practical applications.
The conference program will include keynote and plenary talks from renowned speakers as well as parallel oral sessions with invited or short talks, and poster sessions. These presentations provide insights into how chemistry underpins new developments across the food, agriculture, nutrition and health sectors. The program will also feature health-oriented food research involving multiple interlinked disciplines to integrate food chemistry knowledge with innovative processing/analysis technologies, circular bioeconomy principles, and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, multi-omics, and big data analytics. The breadth of the scientific agenda underscores how food chemistry is evolving into a more integrated, systems-oriented discipline.
By attending this landmark event, you can acknowledge past achievements and help shape tomorrow’s food chemistry research and its impact on food quality, safety, nutrition and health. You cannot miss this event in 2027!

Conference history
3rd Food Chemistry Conference - Shaping a Healthy and Sustainable Food Chain through Knowledge
10 - 12 October 2023 | Hilton Dresden, Dresden, Germany
Topics:
Insights into components in foods
This theme covers nutrients, bioactive compounds, allergens, flavour/taste/aroma profiles in foods (including novel food ingredients), considering sensory aspects, consumer perception, authenticity and traceability, and microbial biotechnological approaches aiming to improve food safety or potential health benefits.
New, rapid, or green methods for food chemistry
This theme includes analysis of components in foods or novel ingredients using new and/ or rapid method or innovative applications; metrology for food analysis; methods for determining roles of foods and/or food components in human health using omic technologies and/or system biology.
Effects of processing on food chemistry including novel delivery systems and packaging
This theme includes the impact of novel processing, delivery and packaging approaches including food matrix reformulation and food coatings on food quality and safety, stability and bioavailability of nutrients and bioactives, and prevention of zoonosis.
Valorisation of food co-products
This theme includes approaches for reducing food waste and exploitation of food waste/ co-products or under-utilised biomaterials leading to improved sustainability of food chain(s).
Food chemistry: Fate in food foods and humans
This topic includes studies involving information technologies, in vitro/in vivo experimental and mathematical/computational models, and risk assessment and communication of food components, as related to metabolism in humans, residues in food products, toxicology, modelling and simulation.
