ICPH2019 is the 9th International Conference on Polyphenols and Health and will be running in Kobe, Japan Nov 28-Dec 1, 2019. ICPH has become the most important international event to comprehensively deal with polyphenols and their various beneficial functions for health. This year it has adopted the theme “Basic and Human Studies to Reach Our Goal”.

Running concurrently, ICoFF2019/ISNFF2019, have adopted the theme, “Food Factor Science from Molecular to Human Studies”. The conferences will offer opportunities to exchange scientific ideas and create networks between people from academia, industry and regulatory authorities, as well as between young and established scientists and professionals.

Jeanne Andres Jeanne Andres, Executive Editor, Food & Function, will be attending.

Please feel free to get in touch with me to arrange a meeting:

Innovative Horticulture for Healthy Foods (IHHF 2019) Conference

The Innovative Horticulture for Healthy Foods (IHHF 2019) Conference takes place from 8-10 December 2019 at the University of Western Australia as well as the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort in Western Australia.

IHHF 2019 is a satellite meeting that will follow on from three important international meetings in the area of Functional Foods all held in Kobe, Japan: ICoFF2019, ISNFF2019 and ICPH2019.

There is growing interest in the health benefits of eating fruit and vegetables. This meeting will highlight recent developments in horticulture and nutrition and provide exciting opportunities to showcase Western Australian science as well as local produce. This is an opportunity to gain knowledge of innovative developments in horticulture, nutrition and health research.

Key Themes

  • Health benefits of fruits, vegetables and their components;
  • Fruit, vegetables and their bioactives;
  • Food and the gut microbiome;
  • Crop improvement for enhanced health benefits;
  • Health promotion, evidence from population studies and;
  • Innovative products.

Our journal Food & Function is delighted to be sponsoring two poster prizes at the IHHF2019.

Food Structures, Digestion and Health (FSDH2019) International Conference

The 5th Internation Conference on Food Structures, Digestion and Health Conference (FSDH2019) will take place from 1-3 October in Rotorua, New Zealand. It will be preceded by a pre-conference workshop on 30 September.

The FSDH2019 conference is the fifth in a series hosted by the Riddet Institute in New Zealand and CSIRO in Australia. It brings together food industry professionals and world leading scientists from diverse disciplines with a common interest in designing food structures focused on “Working with and like Nature” that delivers better nutrition and improves consumer’s wellbeing.

Conference sessions are organised as follows:

  • Food structure design and soft matter physics – learning from nature
  • Food structures, oral processing and consequences for sensory properties
  • Designing food structures for optimal delivery of nutrients and bioactive compounds
  • Physiological aspects of digestion and the role of the human microbiome
  • New approaches to modelling human digestion and gastrointestinal function
  • The Food-Gut-Brain connection
  • Systems approaches to food structure design and the delivery of functionality
  • Food structure and nutrition – opportunity for new food product development
  • Food structure and nutrition – opportunity to redefine dietary guidelines

The conference will offer researchers and industry professionals the opportunity to network across disciplines, form research collaborations and partnerships, and develop joint research initiatives incorporating strategies of engineering sustainable food systems that promote human health and wellbeing for the coming decades. To learn more about the conference and to register, visit the conference website: https://www.fsdh2019.org/

4th UK Hydrocolloids Symposium – From Food to Bioprocessing

The 4th UK Hydrocolloids Symposium is being held at the University of Leeds, UK on Thursday 12th of September 2019.

The theme of the symposium is “From Food to Bioprocessing” and aims to foster the exchange of ideas and recent advances from a variety of disciplines in which Hydrocolloids are key drivers. The research presented in this symposium will represent a cross section of work undertaken by researchers from foods and pharmaceuticals (encapsulation, delivery, oral processing and digestion), biomaterials (scaffolds, hydrogels, nanomaterials) and future applications of Hydrocolloids.

Our journal Food & Function will be sponsoring a prize for the best poster at the The 4th UK Hydrocolloids Symposium.

The registration deadline is 17.00 on Wednesday 4th of September.
