Winner of the Young Scientist Award, 2022
Fabio Valoppi, University of Helsinki, Finland

Fabio Valoppi will give the Young Scientist Award lecture, “Towards a new generation of oleogels: formulation and technological developments”

The judges were particularly impressed with Fabio’s ambition, productivity, creativity, and innovation. In particular, his great awareness of the importance of multidisciplinary integration; his ability to create required methods and instrumentation; and how he progresses from an idea through R&D to application.

The Food Structure and Functionality Forum (FSFF) is pleased to announce the 5th Food Structure and Functionality Symposium: Structuring Foods for a Sustainable World, which will be held in Cork, Ireland from the 18-21 September 2022.

The symposium will bring together renowned speakers from academia and industry – those at the forefront of cutting-edge food science and technology.

Presentations will describe developments in food structure design and functionality that confront the challenges of a rapidly-changing world.

Aligned with the conference theme, contributions are invited in the areas of macro-molecular interactions in complex food systems, structure-function relationships, food materials science, alternative proteins, oral processing, digestion, advanced visualisation, novel imaging techniques and much more.

Conference topics:

  • Innovations in sustainable food processing
  • Pushing the envelope - new techniques & approaches
  • Ingredient up-cycling and food waste reduction
  • Designing food structures for human health
  • Shaping the proteins of tomorrow
