You are cordially invited to participate in the Food Factor Conference, which will be held in Torremolinos-Malaga (Spain) from 8 to 9 November 2018.

This two day conference will offer an excellent opportunity for researchers from a broad range of academic disciplines to present, exchange and disseminate information and experiences on food science.

Some core topics proposed for the conference will include:
• Food chemistry and biochemistry: food bioactives, chemistry of food additives and preservatives, chemical analysis for the determination of authenticity and origin of foods...
• Food microbiology: rapid detection of foodborne pathogens, microbial risk analysis, food contamination...
• Food physics: thermal and non-thermal modifications of foods, multiscale computer simulation and mathematical modeling of food structures...
• Food analysis: instrumental techniques, analysis of sensory properties of foods, imaging techniques...
