Register now! 8th International Congress on “Pigments in Food 2016” (PIF2016)

The registration for PIF2016 is now open!

The 8th International Congress on “Pigments in Food 2016” (PIF2016) will be held in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) from 28 June to 1 July 2016.

For more details please visit the website: http://pif2016.usamvcluj.ro/

Abstract submission for PIF2016 ends on 30 January 2016. Email notification of contributed presentation acceptance will be provided no later than 1 March 2016.

The aim of the congress is to offer good opportunities for scientists to show their advances in scientific and technological topics, related to pigments in food, from their chemical characterization, to (bio)technological production and formulation, stability, metabolism and finally to focus on health effects and benefits.

Academic and industrial scientists from all over the world are invited to submit their work via oral or poster presentation. Contributions on all aspects of pigments in food are welcomed, session’s topics being well adapted to cover six important and outstanding directions of research and technology development.

Scientific Topics:

• Chemical characterization and Bioprospecting
• Emerging (bio)technologies of pigment production and formulation
• Food processing, pigments stability and colour development
• Advanced bioanalytical methods
• Bioactivity, functionality and health effects
• Quality and safety of food pigments (toxicity, allergenicity, bioavailability studies)

The PIF2016 organizers are delighted to offer you, meanwhile, the opportunity to visit the historical city of Cluj-Napoca, to enjoy the traditional food and life in the beautiful Transylvanian landscape and to discover its cultural and academic heritage!
