The aim of the congress is to offer good opportunities for scientists to show their advances in scientific and technological topics, related to pigments in food, from their chemical characterization, to (bio)technological production and formulation, stability, metabolism and finally to focus on health effects and benefits.

Academic and industrial scientists from all over the world are invited to submit their work via oral or poster presentation. Contributions on all aspects of pigments in food are welcomed, session’s topics being well adapted to cover six important and outstanding directions of research and technology development.

Scientific Topics

    Chemical characterization and Bioprospecting

    Emerging (bio)technologies of pigment production and formulation

    Food processing, pigments stability and colour development

    Advanced bioanalytical methods

    Bioactivity, functionality and health effects

    Quality and safety of food pigments (toxicity, allergenicity, bioavailability studies)

The registration for Pigments in Food Congress 2016 is now open. For more details please visit the web site: http://pif2016.usamvcluj.ro

Abstract submission for PIF2016 is currently open and ends on 30th of January 2016.
