Cereal Science meets Technology - Save the date - Call for abstracts

"ICC has a long history of being at the forefront of cereal and grain technology. I am delighted to rekindle the ICC conference series and feel that now, more than ever, consumers are asking researchers and industry searching questions about cereal processing, human nutrition, agronomy practices, breeding and food safety. These aspects are at the core of ICC and will mean that the 19th ICC conference will stand out as one of the most thought provoking and transformational conferences of the year. I hope to welcome you all to Vienna in sunny April." Charles Brennan, Chair of the Scientific Committee

Scientific topics will be:

  1. Processing
    (milling, baking, extrusion, non-thermal processing techniques, starch functionality, separation technology)
  2. Quality and Safety
    (quality evaluation, grain performance, mycotoxins, chemical residues, acrylamide and other processing contaminants)
  3. Ancient and Novel Grains and Legumes
    (pseudo-cereals, non-traditional grain sources)
  4. Processing Aids
    (enzymes, additives, clean label, reformulation for healthier products)
