INTECH 2025 – Conference on Innovations in Food Processing & Flavor Technologies: Advancing Safety, Nutrition and Health
NA, 2025
There are several misconceptions about food processing technologies, as they are often mistakenly viewed as the same as food formulation. It is important to dispel this and provide correct information on how latest food processing technologies are contributing towards food and nutrition security, food safety, and health.
To address this, ILSI India organized INTECH 2025 Conference on “Innovations in Food Processing & Flavor Technologies: Advancing Safety, Nutrition and Health” on 9 December in New Delhi. This one-day conference was held in collaboration with ICAR– Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering & Technology, Ludhiana; National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli; National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Thanjavur; the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (GoI); and Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. This Conference was addressed by 28 Leading Experts. The Compendium of Abstracts of Presentations can be downloaded from: https://tinyurl.com/3va6y75k.
