IDF / INRA First International Symposium on Minerals and Dairy Products, 1-3 October 2008, Saint Malo, France
As constituents of milk and dairy products, minerals are of major importance in technologies and nutrition. Progress in dairy science and technology has increased the level of knowledge concerning the mineral fraction in various fields including physical, chemical, structural, functional, technological, nutritional and methodological functions. The symposium will present an up-date on scientific knowledge in different areas, undertake an assessment of the knowledge, clarify and elucidate the complexity of the behaviour of minerals, identify unresolved problems and propose new strategies in research and research-development. It will provide a better understanding of the role of minerals at different levels to researchers, scientists, students and experts from the industry as the primary target audience.
Final programme now available!
