Nano4Food Conference Brings the Nanotech World into the Food Chain
Nano4Food (www.nanofood.info),
the world's first conference focused specifically on nanotechnologies
and the food industry, will be held on June 20th-21st at Wageningen International
Convention Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Nano4Food will provide the first opportunity for food manufacturers and
nanotechnology providers to discuss the current and future needs and opportunities
for nanotechnologies within the food industry.
This is accomplished by a multidisciplinary approach of business and technology
represented by a world class programme which includes high-level speakers
from global food industry manufacturers, government regulatory bodies,
top technology companies and research institutes.
Delegates will hear from:
| • |
Unilever's Senior Scientist at the Food Research Center,
Prof. Dr. Stanley Brul, who will address the current and future needs
of the food industry and what can nanoscience offer; |
| • |
Friesland Foods's Head of the Research Department, Dr. Tjeerd Jongsma,
who will reveal how the potential for texture modification can accommodate
more precisely consumer's needs and tastes; |
| • |

Science & Technologies, Dr. Manuel Márquez, who will explain
how nanotechnology will give us the tools to develop efficient nutrient
delivery systems; |
| • |
Nestle Research Centre's Dr. Johan Ubbink, who will review the molecular
and nanoscale approaches to food materials science; |
| • |
Philips Semiconductors Austria’s RFID Segment Marketing Manager,
Mr. Kurt Bischof, who will reveal the potential of RFID technology
in food packaging tracking and tracing; |
| • |
United States Department of Agriculture's, Dr. Hongda Chen, who
will examine the role that government regulatory bodies will play
in order for nanotechnologies to reach the market; |
| • |
Rutgers University's and the world's first Food Nanotechonology
Professor, Dr. Qingrong Huang, who will offer insight into the significant
impact that nanosensors will have in food safety and quality; |
| • |
JR Nanotech’s Managing Director, Mr. Robert T.S. Kwan, who
will evaluate the development of nano-based antibacterial coatings
in food packaging; and many more internationally renowned speakers. |
Food manufacturers will discover the ways in which nanotechnologies
can improve productivity within established processes, as well as identifying
positive impacts on health and taste while companies and organizations
working, researching and producing within the nanotechnology space will
be able to find out first hand how the needs and commercial dynamics of
the food industry can inform and drive the need for their products.
