Themes

The development and use of model simulation in risk analyses, food safety, fermentation, texture and flavour of food products. How simulation models can help to manufacture a consumer-friendly food product on specs with a shorter time-to-market.; The state-of-the-art in modelling of complex food properties. This translates itself into the use of models in process and plant control. Process control based on a set of product specs by application of neural networks, fuzzy logic, cost models and mechanistic models; traceability and logistics management. These aspects are covered by the following:

  • Modeling and Simulation in Sustainable Food Systems Engineering
  • Modeling and Simulation in Quantitative Risk Assessment
  • Modeling and Simulation in Food Safety and Spoilage
  • Modeling and Simulation in Innovative Food Production and Processing Technologies
  • Modeling and Simulation in Food Chains
  • Modeling and Simulation in Life Cycle Assessment
  • Modeling and Simulation in Climate Change and Environmental Impact
