Food Processing & Packaging
This track will focus on food processing and packaging in order to improve quality, efficiency, and sustainability, or to lead to the development of new products, processes, packaging materials, or techniques. Sessions will seek to improve participants' understanding of scientific and engineering principles of new and existing food processing and packaging
technologies.
Below are a few of the 2013 session proposal topical areas for this track. For a full listing, please view the 2013 Topical Priorities guide (PDF).
- Food processing unit operations
- Food processing and packaging modeling
- Process measurement, control, and automation
- Packaging materials
- Packaging safety
- QA/QC issues for food processing and packaging
- Technologies to reduce post-harvest loss
- Resource utilization (energy, water, green technology)
