Nutritional Innovations and Food Engineering IMNIFE on August 10-12, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal

Nutritional Innovations and Food Engineering focus on developing advanced, health-oriented, and sustainable food solutions by combining nutrition science with modern engineering technologies. This field emphasizes the design of functional and fortified foods, personalized and clinical nutrition products, and bioactive ingredients that support disease prevention and overall well-being.

Food engineering applies innovative processing, preservation, and formulation techniques—such as non-thermal processing, fermentation, encapsulation, and smart manufacturing—to enhance food quality, safety, shelf life, and nutritional value. Together, nutritional innovations and food engineering play a vital role in meeting global food demands, promoting healthier diets, reducing food waste, and building sustainable, efficient food systems for the future.
