Join us at the GF19 - the 5th International Symposium on Gluten-Free Cereal Products and Beverages!

The 5th event of this series will be hosted by the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry of the KU Leuven and co-organised by the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology. Taking place on June 26 to 28, 2019 in Leuven, Belgium, the GF19 is entitled “Building products by knowledge” and aims at providing a science platform to present the latest gluten-free research and to discuss relevant structure-function relationships. 

This meeting will wrap-up with the current issues, trends and perspectives:

  1. discuss gluten-free raw materials and plant breeding,
  2. focus on starch and protein ingredients and
  3. cover the newest solutions for different products, including bakery products, dairy alternatives and beer.

The conference addresses scientists as well as representatives of the industry and academia from all over the world, bringing together experts of different areas of gluten-free research including food chemistry, biochemistry, physics, biophysics, technology, processing, quality and nutrition.

By doing so, GF19 will provide multidisciplinary perspectives in order to address the present challenges for science based innovation and to build satisfying, gluten-free products.

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)
  5. Food Security and Waste Reduction
    (availability, affordability, sustainability, climate change, plant breeding, added value creation from by-products, storage)
  6. New Instruments and Methods
    (rapid instrumental techniques for quality determination, novel methods for quality assurance)
  7. Cereal Nutrition
    (gluten free, wholegrains, glycaemic response, calorie reduction, dietary fibers, gut microbiota, micronutrients, functional components)
  8. Market Trends
    (consumer perception of cereals, food trends, international trade, block chain technology and its implications)

Special opportunity for ICC Corporate Members: ICC Corporate Members will also have the chance to submit proposals for sponsored Corporate Member Sessions at the 19th ICC Conference 2019.

MyNewGut Final Conference

Microbiome Influence on Energy balance and Brain Development-Fundtion Put into Action to Tackle Diet-related Diseases and Behaviour

EUFIC, together with all partners of the MyNewGut project, is organizing a final conference to present the results of this five-year EU funded project and provide an input on how the human gut microbiota and its genome (microbiome) influence obesity, behavioural – and lifestyle-related disorders.

The MyNewGut project – which falls under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme, - brings together 30 partners from 15 different countries and aims to identify specific dietary strategies to improve the long-term health of the population.

Why is it relevant for research and innovation?

Emerging evidence indicates that the gut microbiome contributes to our ability to extract energy from the diet and influences development and function of the immune, endocrine and nervous systems, which regulate balance and behavior. This has lead to hypothesize that developing microbiome-based dietary interventions can be cost-effective measures to prevent diet-related and behavioural disorders.

The conference will take place on 18 October 2018 at Stanhope Hotel, Rue de Commerce 9, B-1000 Brussels at 9 and will open with a session chaired by Isabelle de Froidmont-Görtz from DG research & Innovation of the European Commission.
