6th Food Structure and Functionality Symposium: Meeting the sustainability challenge
The Food Structure and Functionality Forum (FSFF) is pleased to announce theย 6th Food Structure and Functionality Symposium: Meeting the sustainability challenge,ย whichย will be held in Bruges, Belgium from the 6-9 October 2024.
How is food structure design meeting the challenge of developing a sustainable food system?ย How can food composition, processes and production practices be tailored to minimise environmental impact whilst maintaining functionality and nutritional value?
We invite you to Bruges to network with the world's best in food structure and functionality research and to address these questions and more.
ย Aligned with the conference theme, contributions are invited in the areas of sustainable raw materials and processes, precision fermentation, structural breakdown in relation to health, computational and mechanistic modelling, novel characterisation techniques, and much more.
Conference Topics
Oral and paper abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using theย online abstract submission system(์ ํญ/์ฐฝ์์ ์ด๊ธฐ).
Abstract Submission Deadline:ย 10 May 2024.
Biotechnology: Opportunities for formulation and food structuring
Sustainable raw materials and processes
Beyond cook 'n' look - mechanistic approaches to food structure design
Novel methods for characterisation of food structure and functionality
Improving health through food structuring
Food as a soft material

Supporting publication
Foodย Structureย is the premier international forum devoted to the publication of high-quality articles related toย foodย structureย and functionality. All articles must highlight the significance of the research findings for theย foodscience community and/or industry.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Structuring and de-structuring of dispersedย foodย systems, such as emulsions and foams
Structuring and de-structuring ofย foodย systems containing hydrocolloids, crystals, particles and gels
Foodย structureย design across the lifespan
Constructingย foodย matrices for oral and gut functionality
Linkingย structureย and functionality inย foods using novel experimental and modelling approaches.
