Food Emulsions and Emulsifiers

Science, Functionality and Application

 24-25 September 2005 (in connection with the 26th ISF World Congress)
 Prague, Czech Republic




The course is designed to describe the basic physics and chemistry of food emulsion, types of emulsifiers and their functionality and applications in a variety of products. Starting with the types of emulsion formation, stabilization and characterization, the lectures will deal with the analysis of emulsifiers, lipid oxidative stability and interactions between various food components in emulsion systems. The lectures will also deal with recent techniques being used in particle size distribution, regulatory issues concerning emulsifiers, and special emulsifiers as functional food ingredients.

 
Chair: Dr S. P. Kochhar, SPK Consultancy Services, Reading, Great Britain

Participants

The course should be of interest to chemists, physicists, food scientists/ analysts/quality control developers, emulsifier producers and users, and researchers in the field of emulsion systems. The course should be invaluable to emulsion scientists and food technologists with a need to broaden their skill and to food company managers, whose responsibility is to ensure production of improved quality of a wide range of food products and to meet the ever-growing high quality demand of modern consumers.
