The First World Congress on Sugar and Salt Reduction Strategies will take place on 28 to 29 October 2010 in Saint Julian, Malta.
The purpose of the conference will be to put forward strategies to prevent chronic conditions such as obesity, cancer, neuro-degenerative diseases and cardiovascular diseases. In order to achieve this, it will bring together business and academic communities to discuss innovations and strategies to decrease and cut sugar and salt levels in food.
The conference will be organised in two parts. The first part will focus on sugar reduction and examine possible alternatives such as the natural sweetener stevia. Experts will be invited to discuss the biological and pharmacological effects of stevia, highlight recent advances, discuss possible applications in the agri-food sector and address regulatory aspects in Europe.
The second part of the conference will centre on salt reduction. The conference will hear from various experts on different strategies to decrease salt in food. A special session will focus on the so-called 'fifth flavour perception' umami. The conference will also examine how a new generation of flavour ingredients are focusing on umami.
A networking session on sugar and salt reduction will also be held to establish collaboration between companies, ingredient producers and health marketing companies.
The Second World Congress on Immunity Ingredients will also be held at the same time. It will focus on the latest advances on immunity and health and how to boost the immune health system.For further information, please visit: http://www.sugar-salt-strategy.com/(opens in new window)
