On 15th May 2025, a special satellite meeting will be organized after the 7th International Food Processing Conference (12-14th May, 2025, Valencia, Spain).
After three full days in FOP of learning about oral activity, sensory perception, nutrition and metabolism, oral physiology, food structure and design through in-vivo, in-vitro, and in-silico approaches we will focus all of our attention on breaking down barriers for improving consumers ‘acceptance of plant-based protein alternatives by considering the whole food (process and matrices) and its interaction with the human. This will facilitate networking allowing the scientific community to share knowledge and work on common interests and perspectives in the field of flavour and texture research.
Leading experts from the FLAVOURsome COST Action will be invited to deliver a talk at this satellite meeting around the Working Group topics.
OUR OBJECTIVES IN ORGANISING THIS SATELLITE MEETING ARE:
- To spread knowledge about the research conducted at FLAVOURsome COST Action,
- Encourage networking and collaborations between FLAVOURsome researchers and attendees of the Food Oral Processing Conference
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Participation is open to all FLAVOURsome members and FOP participants. The program will include short talks and flash talks from selected abstracts.
Selected speakers involved in the FLAVOURsome COST Action are eligible for reimbursement to cover travel expenses and a daily allowance to cover meals and accommodation, on a best-effort basis.
Co-attendance of the FOP is not required.
