Food Structures, Digestion and Health
WHEN:
7-9 March 2012
WHERE: Convention Centre, Palmerston North, New Zealand
CONTACT: info@riddet.ac.nz
Nutrients and bioactive compounds in food occur within complex structures and matrices. New scientific research is unravelling the way food components form complex food structures and how these structures affect the rate of absorption and/or bioactivity of nutritional and bioactive components during the digestive process. An understanding of how food structures change as they traverse the entire gastro-intestinal tract, with associated metabolic and physiological consequences, will enable the design of a new generation of foods with enhanced health and sensory attributes.
This international conference will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines to address our knowledge in this area and facilitate the transfer of new scientific advances to the international food industry.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is 31 October 2011
Early bird registration closes 31 January 2012
