The 16th International Scientific and Practical Conference will continue the cycle of conferences initiated 20 years ago and devoted to new research in the chemistry and technologies of production and application of this unique class of natural compounds.
During these years, the volume of domestic production of plant lecithin that meets the requirements of international standards has increased in Russia.
The use of this functional and technological additive in various sectors of the food industry, in the production of feeds and technical products, has increased approximately two times
Phospholipids, as biological emulsifiers with antioxidant and synergistic functions, have become widely used in clinical practice as nutrients and biologically active dietary supplements.
The main goal of the organized conferences is to analyze the scientific and technical development in this area of lipidology, to determine the trends of scientific and technological advance.
Conference topics:
- Engineering and technological aspects of isolation and purification of natural phospholipids, including the use of solvents of different chemical nature, including those in the supercritical state;
- Phospholipid synthesis;
- Analysis of lipid-containing media;
- Creation of functional and polycomponent products for food and feed;
- Nanoemulsions and liposomes;
- Actual results in the field of phospholipid applications;
- Plant polar lipids (chemical composition and biomedical properties).
Activities within the framework of the Conference:
- an exhibition of products of companies producing phospholipid-based lecithins and nutraceuticals;
- a competition of post-graduate and student's works in the field of functional and food lipidomics.
