About the 4th International Symposium on Spray Dried Dairy Products
|
Dairy Innovation Australia, our
Symposium Sponsors and Symposium Organising Committee invite
participants from the global dairy manufacturing industry and dairy
research community to join us in Melbourne in April 2009, for the 4th
International Symposium on Spray Dried Dairy Products.
Following
the theme of the previous highly successful symposia in this series,
held in Rennes (2001), Cork (2004) and San Francisco (2007) this
meeting aims to bring together research and industry leaders to share
ideas and information about new developments in two complementary
fields of science and technology – the manufacture of dairy powders and
the functionality of these products as food ingredients.
In
common with previous years, the conference will be structured around a
combination of oral presentations, poster presentations and trade
displays, including both invited and proffered papers. As previously,
it is planned to publish a selection of these papers in a special
edition of the international journal, Dairy Science and Technology (formerly Le Lait).
