Preliminary notice

The Workshop

CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, is once again hosting the international IFT/EFFoST nonthermal food processing workshop.

The theme of the 2012 Workshop is Innovative Processes for Sustainable, Safe and Healthy Foods.
Opportunities for nonthermal and other innovative technologies in adding value to foods and enabling the sustainable manufacture of healthier food products (such as reduced salt, fat and sugar) that benefit Australian and international markets will be highlighted.

Session themes will address innovative technologies for:
•    a sustainable future
•    a safe supply chain
•    sensory aspects, human health and nutrition
•    processing and commercial development challenges.

Applications for travel assistance grants are now open.

Short course
A focussed short course on innovative food processing technologies with a tour of CSIRO’s $40m food processing pilot plant will take place on 15 October.
