International Congress on Food Engineering and Technology 2012
IFET 2012
IMPACT Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand
March 28-30, 2012
General Information
The International Congress on Food Engineering and Technology (IFET2012) will be held at IMPACT Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand during March 28-30, 2012. The Congress will be jointly hosted by the King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and the Bangkok Exhibition Congress (BEC).
IFET2012, with the theme “Advanced Food & Beverage Engineering for Better Health and Safety” aims to provide a forum for dissemination and exchange of ideas and recent advances in food engineering and related technologies among food engineers, food scientists, food technologists as well as general participants both from academia and, in particular, from industry. IFET2012 will cover a wide array of topics, including novel food processing and packaging technologies, food product development, value-added food products, further processing as well as food safety and regulations and the latest consumer trends in organic and functional foods.
IFET2012 will feature a special format of oral sessions, in which expert speakers from both academia and industry are only by-invitation. These oral sessions will provide critical review and discussion of recent advances in food engineering and technologies related to the theme of IFET2012. Academic lectures are planned to be given back-to-back with lectures on closely relevant topics by industrial experts. The following broad topics are examples of the planned special oral sessions:
- Advances in Food Processing & Packaging Technologies
- Thermal Processing (e.g., drying, freezing)
- Non-Thermal Processing (e.g., high-pressure processing, pulsed electric field processing)
- Micro- and Nano-Encapsulation
- Active/Smart Packagings
- Production of Health-Promoting Foods
- Weight Management
- Brain and Heart Health
- Gut Health
- Aging and Cancer
- Production of Novel Agri-Based Products from Rice, Cassava, Fruits and Vegetables, Aquaculture, Cellulosic Materials and Waste Utilization from Food Industry
- Nutraceuticals
- Nanomaterials
- Innovation in Bio-Based Materials
- Food Safety & Quality
- Hygienic Design of Food Processes
- Rapid Detection of Food-Borne Pathogens
- Food Safety Regulations
- Biosensors and Chemical Sensors
- Advanced Quality Analysis of Foods (e.g., spectroscopy and image analysis)
Poster sessions will be open to all contributors and will cover all of the above-mentioned as well as other relevant topics.
