New Trends in Oilseed Crushing and Processing

13-14 March 2007, Leipzig, Germany

Invitation

The processing division of DGF is proud to announce the 2nd Symposium in Leipzig, Germany. It is our intention to establish a three year cycle of symposiums focusing on important trends and current developments in seed and oil processing.
In 2004 we recognised a wide interest from the crushing and refining industry, engineering companies, suppliers of equipment as well as universities and research centres attending the Symposium ?Refining: Handling By-Products and Minor Components?.

Within the last three years the vegetable oil industry has been influenced by tremendous changes, one of them being the bio diesel ?boom?. The impact on seed processing was dramatic due to strong demand for oilseeds as a source for alternative energy. New oil seed crushing plants are in planning or in construction. Increasing quantities of products such as rape meal from extraction plants or pressing plants come into the market. These valuable products are not to be used for animal feed only as they are a food source as well.

?New Trends in Oilseed Crushing and Processing? is the topic of the 2nd symposium in Leipzig, the meeting will take into account current developments and will consider various aspects and trends in evaluation of different oil seeds and new possibilities in application of meal and cakes. An overview of latest developments in oilseed processing technologies and state of the art equipment as well as quality aspects and research activities will be given.
The symposium is addressed to all, working in or with the oil seed processing industry such as investors, plant manager, project engineers, operators, quality control manager, researcher, traders etc.

Leipzig is an excellent place with its tradition in culture and trade and its recent up-coming importance as industry, logistics, science and trade fair location. Leipzig is convenient and well connected for all visitors via international airport, railway station and motorways.
It would be our great pleasure to welcome you in Leipzig.
