InsideFood Symposium
9 April 2013 - 12 April 2013
Belgium
The InsideFood Symposium (9-12 April 2013, Leuven, Belgium) aims at creating an exchange forum for recent scientific knowledge on food structure, its characterisation and its relation to physical, sensory, nutritional and health inducing food properties. During 3 days they will discuss progress in the area of food microstructure, 3D imaging technology and structural engineering of foods. The InsideFood Symposium will attract over 150 participants.
The InsideFood Symposium is organised by the MeBioS division and the Leuven Food Science and Nutrition Research Centre (LFoRCe) of the University of Leuven (KU leuven, Belgium) within the framework of EU-FP7-project ‘InsideFood’ and COST action FA1001 ‘The application of innovative fundamental food-structure-property relationships to the design of foods for health, wellness and pleasure’.
The event is chaired by Prof. Bart Nicolaï (KU Leuven, BE, project coordinator InsideFood) and Prof. Laura Piazza (University of Milan, IT, Chair of COST Action FA1001).
The programme will include key note contributions from worldwide experts in food engineering and sensor technology: Prof. José Aguilera (PUC, Chile), Sune Svanberg (Lund University, Sweden), Raffaele Mezzenga (ETH-Zürich, Switzerland), Kjeld van Bommel (TNO, The Netherlands) and Stefan Kaufmann (Nestlé Research Center Lausanne, Switzerland). Over 100 oral and poster contributions will show the latest developments in the fields of microscopy, tomography, spectroscopy and spectral imaging, modelling and simulation, structure-property relationships and food structure engineering.
Several European technology companies will exhibit their cutting edge developments in food structure imaging equipment.
