Held between October 25 - 27, 2023, DOF 2023 is an interdisciplinary symposium about food science and engineering, biophysics, applied soft matter, food technology and applied human nutrition. Diverse participants (such as academia, equipment manufacturers and industry) from all over the World are encouraged to attend. This year DOF will have a special emphasis on sustainability (incl. alternative proteins) and analysing their functionality. This includes techniques to measure physicochemical, sensory and nutritional properties. The conference will therefore focus on the following topics:

Additionally, there will be a session hosted by the Riddet Institute on "Digestion and Bioavailability". The abstract submission template can be downloaded here (DOC, 0.04 MB) and late poster abstracts can be submitted until October 11th through this link.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the DOF 2023.
