Dear Reader,

The 8th International Symposium on Deep-Fat Frying in Munich continues the long tradition of symposia since 1973. With these series of symposia the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Euro Fed Lipid) has established an important platform for food producers, sciences, official and commercial laboratories, marketing and consumers to present and to discuss the latest news on deep-fat frying.

Although the process of deep-fat frying is known since nearly 4000 years and it is one of the most popular processes for food preparation with an increasing market world-wide a lot of questions are still under discussion. The complex and dynamic process taking place at the surface of the food but also in the oil is still not understood comprehensively. Nowadays it is realized that chemical and physical changes of fats and oils at elevated temperatures cannot be explained by autoxidation only, but more knowledge is necessary to improve food quality. Since a remarkable part of oil is taken up by food the focus of interest also has to be on aspects important for maintaining the oil quality.

In this context new mechanisms taking place during the frying process have to be discussed. This may help to develop heat stabilizing agents based on natural sources and to optimize the frying process.

As a result from the last seven symposia on deep-fat frying recommendations on regulatory guidelines for the evaluation of used frying oils and fats, but also on issues such as acrylamide or trans-fatty acids in foods or information on the frying process have been released traditionally to achieve a better understanding of the frying process within the whole processing chain with respect to healthier and better food products. Several of these recommendations have found their way into practice.

The technical program of the forthcoming symposium will cover all aspects necessary for a better understanding of the frying process. It will provide a comprehensive overview on the theory and the modeling of the frying processing, but also discuss the occurrence of contaminants and degradation products. Furthermore, the 8th symposium will show possibilities to improve the quality and heat stability of frying oils by addition of natural compounds or filtering and oil treatment. New analytical methods for a fast and easy quality control to monitor the degradation of oil in the fryer and probable formation of toxic compounds during frying will also be presented.

Thus, the 8th International Symposium on Deep-fat frying is intended for all persons from food producers, sciences, official and commercial laboratories, marketing and consumers who are involved into the production of fried food, research on the frying process or the assessment of used frying oils or interested in deep-fat frying in general. The aim of the symposium is to provide the participants with new information on frying and to discuss the latest findings in order to make the market of fried products fit for the future. We look forward to welcoming you in Munich in September 2015.

The Frauenkirche is a church in the Bavarian city of Munich that serves as the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and seat of its Archbishop. It is a landmark and is considered a symbol of the Bavarian capital city. The church towers are widely visible because of local height limits (city administration prohibits buildings with a height exceeding 99 m in the city center).

Maximilianeum

The Maximilianeum, was built as the home of a gifted students' foundation and has housed the Bavarian state parliament since 1949. The principal was King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who started the project in 1857. The building is situated on the bank of river Isar marks the eastern end of the Maximilianstrasse, one of Munich's royal avenues which is framed by neo-Gothic palaces influenced by the English Perpendicular style.
Marienplatz has been the city's main square since 1158, when Henry the Lion founded the city. The place was named after the Mariensäule, a Marian column erected in its centre in 1638 to celebrate the end of Swedish occupation.

The Munich Oktoberfest is with 6 Mio visitors the world's largest funfair. Locally, it is often simply called Wiesn, after the colloquial name of the fairgrounds (Theresienwiese) themselves. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. The Oktoberfest 2015 starts 19 September 2015. A very good reason to extend your stay in Munich a little bit....
