This week, in Sydney, we are hosting a Workshop on Neutrons and Food, in conjunction with European Union's NMI3 Program and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA.
The international workshop has attracted 54 attendees from 15 different countries in 5 continents, and seeks to identify the future scientific needs in the application of neutron scattering to Food Science.
The application of neutron scattering to foodbased systems is still in its infancy but has significant potential to understand the complex relationship between food structure, processing, rheology, nutrition, food quality and security. The meeting co-chairs are Mike Davidson (University Tennessee, Knoxville) and Elliot Gilbert (Bragg Institute, ANSTO).
