About Food Colloids 2012

This conference is the fourteenth in the series of biennial European conferences dedicated to the area of food colloids. Food Colloids is a highly multidisciplinary topic that brings together scientists from many different areas. The aim of the conference is to present the state of the art on a number of fast evolving questions and to promote discussions and interactions between researchers involved in different fields of food colloids. This series aims to emphasise the importance of approaching the subject from different perspectives; from the fundamental physical-chemistry to the nutritional and consumer aspect of the food product.
