SUMMARY:Workshop: Food extrusion demonstration (Werribee South)
DESCRIPTION:Levy-funded project VG15076 Creating value from edible vegetable waste is developing new ways to improve recovery of edible material\, with a focus on brassica vegetables and carrots. Concepts being explored include extracting ‘nutraceuticals’ from vegetable waste\, processing edible waste into new ingredients and food products\, and using fermentation. \nThe CSIRO researchers working on VG15076\, which is a strategic levy investment under the Hort Innovation Vegetable Fund\, will be demonstrating extrusion technology in action at a workshop as part of the VegNET program being delivered in the northern\, western and south-eastern regions of Victoria. \nThis live demonstration will allow participants to touch and taste the extrusion of powdered broccoli or carrots into crunchy snacks\, and discuss opportunities for value added products within your business. \nFor more information\, see the event flyer. Levy-paying growers who are interested in attending this workshop can contact Clinton Muller on 0498 192 596 or at clintonm@rmcg.com.au. \nSome of this content first appeared in Hort Innovation’s quarterly Hortlink publication\, available in full here. Stay in the loop by becoming a member of Hort Innovation – paying a levy doesn’t automatically make you a member\, but signing up is free and easy here.

SUMMARY:Food Structures\, Digestion and Health Conference (Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Food Structures\, Digestion and Health International Conference is focused on increasing awareness that food format and food structure have a significant effect on the bio-availability of nutrients.  The focus has shifted development of nutritional guidelines away from the more traditional approach of simply examining the nutrient composition of foods. \nThis important conference presents a unique opportunity to bring together food industry professionals\, and world leading scientists – from diverse disciplines including food science\, nutrition\, digestive behaviour\, genetics\, medical science and engineering with a common interest in food design that delivers better nutrition and functionality and improves consumer wellbeing. \nResearchers and industry professionals from around the globe will have an excellent opportunity to network across disciplines\, form research collaborations and partnerships\, and develop joint research initiatives capable of delivering diet reformulation strategies which promote consumer health and wellbeing. This will be achieved via a selection of keynote presentations\, invited speakers and those whose research abstracts have been accepted for presentation to the conference.
