Recently the proceedings book Magnetic Resonance in Food Science, Challenges in a Changing World, was published to follow up on a successful 9th International Conference on the Application of Magnetic Resonance in Food Science, which was held by Matís in the Nordic house in Reykjavík, Iceland during September 15th to 17th 2008.
The book is edited by María Guðjónsdóttir, project manager and Ph.D. student at Matís, Professor Peter Belton from the University of East Anglia and Graham Webb from the Royal Society of Chemistry. The proceedings book is published by Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK. Eighty delegates from 20 countries participated in the Reykjavík conference and introduced their studies in 32 oral presentations and 32 posters. The book that has now been published contains 29 articles based on the oral presentations from the conference. The book is divided into four chapters; New Techniques; Food Systems and Processing; ESR and other Techniques; Fish and Meat. Further information about the conference can be found on the conference homepage www.matis.is/mrinfood2008 . Those interested can buy the proceedings book through María by contacting her through e-mail (mariag@matis.is) or by phone +354 422 5091.
The conference was the 9th in the series International Conference on the Applications of Magnetic Resonance in Food Science, which are held biannually. The next conference will be held autumn 2010 in Clermont, France on behalf of L‘Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA).
