Soft Matter Approaches to Structured Foods
Faraday Discussion 158
2 – 4 July 2012
Hof Van Wageningen, Netherlands
Deadline for Oral Abstracts: 16 September 2011
Soft Matter Approaches to Structured Foods: FD158 aims to provide a platform for the exchange of views between regular food scientists and non-food experts from the soft matter community. The discussion will involve state-of-the-art approaches and will explore these themes:
- Structuring formation via external fields (shear, intensive heating, electric)
- Structuring formation via self-assembly (adsorption at interfaces/organogels)
- Slow dynamics in stabilized/jammed foods
- Simulation of structured soft matter/foods at multiple length scales
Confirmed invited speakers:
- Dr Job Ubbink (Introductory), Nestlé Research Center, Switzerland
- Professor Kees de Kruif (Closing), Utrecht University, The Netherlands
- Professor Ian Norton, University of Birmingham, UK
- Professor Remco Boom, Wageningen University, The Netherlands
- Professor Mike Cates, University of Edinburgh, UK
- Professor Ashim Datta, Cornell University, USA
- Professor Alejandro Marangoni, University of Guelph, Canada
- Professor Erik van der Linden, Wageningen University, The Netherlands
- Professor Hajime Tanaka, University of Tokyo, Japan
- Professor Peter Schurtenberger, University of Fribourg, Switzerland
We invite you to submit an abstract for an oral presentation by 16 September 2011.
We hope that this conference is of interest and that you will attend this exciting Faraday Discussion next year.
Please keep Faraday Discussions’ sister journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) in mind. PCCP brings you content of the highest quality in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. With high-impact research, and a truly international readership, PCCP is the ideal place to publish. We invite you to submit your research to PCCP today.
