Symposium in Review

Participants have clearly indicated that they regard the First International Symposium on Gluten-Free Cereal Products and Beverages as a highly successful event. A total of 177 delegates from 25 countries enjoyed three days of presentations and research updates on almost all aspects of novel processing technologies and their application in food processing. The symposium presented a unique opportunity for researchers working in the field of celiac disease, gluten-free foods, and beverages to discuss specifically their findings, views, and questions. The specific aim of the symposium was to facilitate medical aspects and technology transfer to sufferers and industry by organizing an event at which modern medical diagnosis and treatment procedures, as well as technological applications, were clearly presented. The forum also allowed for fruitful discussions and questioning. There was even a whole afternoon devoted to case studies of industrial applications of new technologies.

 

The success of the First International Symposium on Gluten-Free Cereal Products and Beverages has led to discussions about hosting a second symposium in Finland in 2010.
