Agri-food industry is a key societal and economical sector that can be boosted by the advanced synchrotron-based techniques. They can help to introduce new products to adapt to the public’s changing consumption patterns and to add benefits highly appreciated by customers such as safety, nutritional value, and taste; while pursuing competitiveness reducing production costs.

The ALBA Synchrotron offers cutting-edge techniques for the structural characterization of foods at the micro and nanoscale to understand food processing and improve its production.

In this workshop a practical review on the applications of synchrotron techniques to food and packaging will be provided by experts in the characterization of fats and fat emulsions, functional foods, food processing and packaging.
