Nonthermal Processing of Foods

According to economists, agricultural and dietary habits have a significant impact on the environment, climate, and human health. While there has been progress in reducing hunger and malnutrition worldwide, recent data shows a troubling increase in malnutrition rates. In order to tackle these issues effectively, new nutritional strategies need to promote a diverse strategy with a focus on balanced diets, plant-based foods, alternative food sources and innovative technologies. One promising approach is the use of nonthermal methods to process both traditional and alternative food sources. Technologies such as high pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment and the use of ultraviolet (UV) light and various radiation sources must be taken into account, as well as processes such as ultrasound (US) and cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) show potential for improving food safety and quality.

The workshop with the theme: “Nonthermal processes to foster diversity, sustainability and resilience of future food systems” will provide a platform and a meeting point among students, experts and stakeholders in the field of nonthermal processing of foods from the academic research and the industry. 

The workshop is organized by and will take place at the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy
