The 8^th International Conference on Dietary Fibre 2022, organised by the Laboratory of Food Chemistry and Biochemistry of the KU Leuven (BE) and ICC, will be held in Leuven (BE) on 16-18 October 2022.

DF22 is entitled “Towards Unlocking the Full Potential of Fibre for Food, Function and Global Health” and aims at finding answers to challenging and topical questions, like:

• Is all undigested food DF?
• Which novel tools can help unravel DF structure-function relationships in silico and in vivo?
• What role can DF play in animal protein replacement strategies?
• Can DF-plant protein interactions be leveraged to improve functionality in food systems?
• Can food fermentation be used to enhance the functional and nutritional properties of DF?
• Do purified DF and DF in an intact plant matrix exert different functionalities and health benefits?
• Can DF properties be directed to optimise the composition of the gut microbiome?

The conference addresses scientists and representatives of the industry and academia from all over the world, bringing together experts of different areas of dietary fibre research, including food (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, technology, processing, fermentation, quality and human and animal health.

The deadline for submitting abstracts has been extended and you can submit your abstracts for the DF22 until 21^st of June 2022. We would be delighted if you take the opportunity to participate in the extension and make numerous contributions!

Benefit from the early bird registration!

ICC and BOKU, the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna will organize the 20th International ICC Conference from 5-7 July 2022 in Vienna/Austria, about “Future Challenges for Cereal Science and Technology” (https://www.icc-conference.com).

The program will cover aspects and latest developments starting from crop production with special emphasis on the change of climate and its influence of the world nutrition, via cereal processing, nutrition, analytics, quality and safety up to market trends and consumer demands to tackle the needs in the cereal business today and tomorrow.

The ICC2022 will be a great forum and an excellent opportunity to convene and collaborate, to build new connections and to renew friendships.

All stakeholders in the grain food chains are called to support this event by contributing with their expertise and sharing the results of their work in oral and poster presentations as well as panel discussions and tabletop exhibitions.

Location: Online

Watch for the opening of the call for abstracts for oral and poster presentations which will be during the months of May-June 2022.
