Conference: Additives and enzymes in food
Additives and enzymes in food: past, present and future from a global and consumer perspective
The 2016 Bertebos Conference is dedicated to Professor Jan Delcour and Professor Youling Xiong, who received the Bertebos prize in 2015. This year’s topic is in line with their research on additives and enzymes in food.
Food additives are substances that are added to food for the purpose of improving keeping quality and freshness, enhancing nutritional value, facilitating processing, and enhancing the product overall organoleptic properties. As a special group of food additive, exogenous enzymes are also widely used to aid in food processing and producing desirable functionality and food product quality. But what are the pros and cons of food additives?
The theme of the conference is functional and nutritional benefits of food ingredients and additives. The conference will cover a variety of topics and highlight technologically and biologically active components, compounds, and natural additives, including enzymes, in cereal and muscle based food products. The impact of various food additives on the nutrition, health, and organoleptic properties of foods, consumers’ attitude and government regulations and policies from a global perspective will be discussed in plenary speeches and by a roundtable panel.
The conference program consists of three scientific sections: Consumer aspects, functionalities in cereal based foods, and functionalities in muscle based foods as well as information on regulatory aspects, field trips to food industries and a general discussion on enzymes and additives in food.
We will bring together distinguished Swedish and international researchers, businesses from many disciplines, as well as prominent stakeholders to discuss different aspects and challenges facing food chain regarding additives and enzymes in food.
