Track 01: Food Biotechnology & Food Processing

Every fruit, vegetable, grain and animal we've a bent to examine lately is that the results of genetic modification. Biotechnology refines and extends ways that within which prove new plants and animals. Biotechnology incorporates a long history of use in food production and methodology. For 10 thousand years fermentation, a mode of biotechnology, has been accustomed prove wine, brew and bread. Selective breeding of animals like horses and dogs has been happening for several years. Selective breeding of essential foods like rice, corn and wheat have created thousands of native varieties with improved yield compared to their wild ancestors.

Food Processing is that the transformation of roast ingredients, by physical or chemical suggests that into food, or of food into numerous forms. Food methodology combines raw food ingredients to supply marketable food merchandise which is able to be simply ready and served by the client. Food methodology typically involves activities like refined and macerating, activity, emulsification, and preparation (such as boiling, broiling, frying, or grilling); pickling, sterilization, and plenty of of numerous of varied of assorted} sorts of preservation; and canning or various packaging. (Primary-processing like dicing, slicing, activity or drying once resulting in secondary merchantdisear enclosed.

Track 02: Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals are organically active phytochemicals that have medical advantages. These might be conveyed to the purchaser as a dietary supplement or potentially as a functional food. These items are probably going to assume a fundamental part in human health and lifespan.

Food Safety may even be a major focal point of sustenance science. differed operators of illness, pathogens, unit immediately transmitted by means of sustenance, still as living being, and infections. being poisons ar getable contaminants of nourishment. Nonetheless, microorganisms and their stock may also be acclimated battle these infective organisms. Probiotic life form, still as individuals who make bacteriocins, can slaughter and repress pathogens. as partner degree interchange, unadulterated bacteriocins like nisinar ordinarily extra on to nourishment stock. At last, bacteriophages, infections that by itself taint life form, ar commonly acclimated slaughter being pathogens. Thorough planning of sustenance, still as right readiness, kills most creature and infections. Be that as it may, poisons made by contaminants won't be subject to alteration to non-poisonous structures by warming or arrangement the polluted nourishment on account of through and through totally extraordinary wellbeing conditions.

Track 04: Dairy Science and Technology

Dairy industry one of the largest sector of the food-Supply chain, it’s a sector which relies for a success on a unique blend of craft and science with the balance changing in relation to the product. This session discusses about the recent trends and difficulty faced in the field of dairy Technology.

Track 05: SIBO

Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), also termed bacterial overgrowths, or small bowel bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SBBOS), is a disorder of excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine.

The symptoms of bacterial overgrowth include nausea, flatus, constipation, bloating, abdominal distension, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, fatigue, and weakness.

Track 06: Nutrition & Metabolism

The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.

Track 07: Dietary Supplements, Nutraceuticals and Functional Food

Functional foods are those which have been processed to aid in specific body functions along with providing nutrition. Nutraceuticals have the same definition but in addition they are formulated as pharmaceutical drugs. The functional food industry is developing at a rapid pace due to the increasing awareness of people towards a healthy lifestyle. The global Nutraceuticals product market has shown consistent growth during the past few years. Dietary supplements are vitamins, minerals, herbs, and many different products.
