Physical Principles of Lipids in Food Products and Health

Organised by:

SCI’s Lipids Group

Weetwood Conference Centre

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

'Fat' has become a byword for ill-health in our nutrition obsessed world. Yet fats, or more exactly fatty acids and their glycerol esters the mono- di- and triacylglycerols are essential to health. They are so important that humans have evolved mechanisms which ensure that we greatly desire fats in all their delicious forms, in baked goods, chocolate, confectionery, ice-cream, dairy products, the list just goes on and on. Their importance is testified to by the fact that fat and vegetable oil refining and production, together with goods such as fatty spreads and chocolate are the single most important food sector in the world.

Attendees

This conference will be of interest to those working in fat crystallization and processing with researchers working on the biochemistry of polyphenols, phytosterols and plant stanols; as well as industrial scientists, technologists and engineers working with fats and concerned about their impact in their products and on human health..
