International Conference on Advances in Food Processing ICAFP on March 11-12, 2027 in Miami, United States

Advances in Food Processing
Sustainability – efficient use of resources and energy
Raw material utilization: waste reduction in food processing and the food chain; use of by-products
Energy efficiency and water management: energy savings in thermal and non-thermal technologies; reducing water consumption by optimization processing and design; improvement of distribution logistics
Life cycle strategies: footprint (carbon, water, land); packaging and waste recycling; fair trade production

Innovative products, ingredients and packaging
Sensory optimization and consumer preferences: new texture attributes in food and beverages: flavor perception and consumption behavior; novel natural ingredients; clean labeling and organic food
Nutrition and health: optimization of nutritional value; functional ingredients; reduction of fats, sugar and salt
Food and packaging convenience: healthier snacks and ready to eat products; food service; convenience packaging

Food safety and quality
New technologies in food processing and preservation: thermal, mechanical and physical processing
Packaging for extended shelf life: active packaging; intelligent packaging; optimizing barriers
Regulatory aspects: novel food; health claims; packaging; nanotechnology
Communication with consumers: industry; academic; government
