Summary
ICPNFF-2025 will provide a unique opportunity for scientists and professionals to share their ideas and findings on the discovery, function, and application of polysaccharides for human health and food sustainability. It will be a medium-sized conference with 200-300 participants, featuring highly interdisciplinary topics across the fields of polymer, food, and health sciences, including the application of polysaccharides in the development of nutraceutical products and sustainable materials.
Objectives/Topic Areas:
- Structure-property-function relationships
- Analytical methods
- Chemical, enzymatic and physical modifications
- Biosynthesis and bio-production
- Extraction and waste valorisation
- Interactions/complexes with other molecules: proteins and polyphenols
- Bioactivities, nutraceutical functions and the underlying mechanisms
