Nearly 300 participants enjoyed the first major AACC International European-based symposium in Montpellier, France, May 2-4. Cereals&Europe, the European section of AACC International, with the support and endorsement of a multitude of organizations, planned a unique program that attracted experts from the international cereals and grains industry. The overall theme of the meeting, “consumer driven cereal innovation: where science meets industry,” was approached through plenary sessions, one program track on science and one on technology, poster sessions, and exhibits by 22 supplier companies. Attendance from those working for industry made up approximately 70% of the attendees and those from academic and government organizations 30%.
The local hosts complemented the meeting with outstanding social events beginning with the opening reception. During the reception, three awards sponsored by Danone were given for the best student papers, which were part of the 6th European Young Cereal Scientists and Technologists Workshop held in the days preceding the main meeting. The awards went to Frederic Auger, INRA-SUPAGRO; Evi Croes, K.U.Leuven; and Andrea Uhrin, Agr.Res. Institute - Hungarian Academy of Science. Each day attendees enjoyed the wonderful French cuisine during the lunch break. The highlight was a grand candlelight banquet at the l’Abbaye de Valmagne, an abbey built in the thirteenth century. The setting, music, and gourmet meal provided an unforgettable experience.
A proceeding from the meeting is in the works and several feature articles will appear in CEREAL FOODS WORLD based on the plenary sessions. The abstracts were printed as a supplement to the May-June issue of CFW.
Puratos Great Taste and Wellness Awards were given to Michelle Moore, University College Cork, Ireland, for her poster “Fundamental studies on the reduction of salt in wheat bread” and Anthony Fardet, INRA- Clermont-Ferrand/Theix, France, for his oral presentation “Whole grain and refined wheat flours show distinct metabolic profiles in rats as assessed by a 1H NMR Based Metabonomic Approach.”
