presentation.
- Natural Hydrocolloids: new properties and novel applications
- New hydrocolloids: new sources and processes, functional properties,
characterizations and potential applications
- Modification of natural hydrocolloids: methodologies, improved functionalities
and novel applications
- Industrial perspectives of natural hydrocolloids
- Proteins and dairy ingredients: new products and functions, interactions with
other food components
- Bioactive polysaccharides: isolations, characterizations, bioactivities and health
implications
- Soluble Dietary fibre: molecular characteristics and physiological benefits (for
