The event happens every 4 years, and the 2002 and 2006 editions were also in Lyon. This year the organisers are expecting over 1000 attendees, with a mix of researchers, commercial directors, formulators and producers in the emulsions industry.
The symposium track on food uses of emulsions will focus on health benefits. It will investigate the main scientific, economical, ethical and social challenges to using emulsions in food, strategies for using emulsions to enable salt, sugar and fat reduction in foods, relations between emulsions and sensory aspects, behaviour of emulsions in the digestive system, and bioavailability of emulsions.
