Notes for authors

Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.

You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like. If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend, and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of. At least one author of the accepted abstract must register to attend the meeting to present their work and answer questions. Only talks and posters of registered participants will be scheduled in the program.

For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted:

If you do not receive acknowledgement for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please contact the Conference Content Executive S’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre with details of any revisions or queries, and quote your reference number if you have one.

Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances.

Food rheology and microstructure characterization using microrheology

Presented by LS Instruments AG

Tuesday 8th October

7:30 – 8:00: Breakfast (sponsored by LS Instruments AG and provided for all participants with advance workshop registration)

8:00 – 8:45: Workshop

Rheological characterization of food ingredients and products is crucial for formulation design, stability prediction, manufacturability assessment, and quality control. Microrheology is a newer class of methods which offers easy, non-invasive testing within sealed containers and gives rapid access to rheological properties across an exceptionally broad span of frequencies. It is also particularly well suited to tracking dynamic processes such as gelation or the evolution of instability phenomena.

The workshop will cover the basics of microrheology, compare it with traditional methods, discuss its pros and cons as well as suitable sample types and analysis techniques, and demonstrate its use in analyzing food textures, stability and quality. Attendees can interact with the speaker through a Q&A session, making this workshop beneficial for anyone interested in microrheology, from novices to seasoned practitioners.
