Food Chemistry, Special Issue: 7th International Conference on Water in Food

Abstract

Preface

7th international conference on water in food

This Conference continued the series of meetings of scientists

and manufacturers who are involved in the relation of water and

food. This is a very wide area with many aspects, spanning from

the determination of water content and water activity to the influence

of water on various properties of food and the adulteration of

products. The common interest has led to the creation of the association

EuroFoodWater located in Reims/France.

The previous meetings were held in Ispra/Italy in 2000, Reims/

France in 2002, Lausanne/Switzerland in 2004, Brussels/Belgium in

2006, Nürtingen/Germany in 2008 and Reims/France in 2010. The

8th International Conference on Water in Food will take place from

25 to 27 May 2014 in Timisoara/Romania. Information is contained

on the website
