[Neutron] "Neutrons and Food 8": registration and abstract submission open

[Holderer, Olaf]

Dear colleagues,

The registration and abstract submission for the “Neutrons and Food 8” is now open. Information regarding program, timeline, registration and abstract submission are on the conference website go.fzj.de/neutronsandfood8.

The "Neutrons and Food 8" 2026 will be held in Garching, Germany on June 15th to 19th, 2026 and it will bring together experts in food science and technology and neutron scattering to discuss present status, ongoing developments as well as future perspectives in the field.

The world-wide interest to tackle vibrant research questions about food materials and processing with the help of scattering methods is growing. Sustainability in food technology requires knowledge based research and development, and the scattering community is a vibrating and active part, showing with its techniques that gaining molecular insight into complex structures is exciting and important for further developments. In this conference the colorful diversity of research with neutrons and food will be highlighted.

The conference consists of two parts: a training school and the exchange of the most recent research results presented from contributed and invited talks as well as posters. The first day is devoted to the training school with introductory lectures on scattering techniques as well as food systems. The other days cover talks and posters on current research related to neutron and X-ray techniques and food. Furthermore,visits of state-of-the-art reseach facilities specialized in food science and technology and scattering are organized.

We warmly welcome contributions on the following topics related to food using scattering techniques:

  *   food components like proteins, cabohydrates, fats

  *   food colloids like emulsions, foams and gel systems

  *   food processing investigated via scattering techniques

  *   food and neutron imaging

  *   simulation of food materials or processes

  *   scattering techniques applied in food systems

  *   industrial applications of scattering

Talks and posters will be presented by renowned international researchers in the field to demonstrate state-of-the-art methods and applications.



The conference is organized by the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), a collaboration between Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Technische Universität München and Helmhotz Zentrum Hereon.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Munich in 2026!


On behalf of the organizers

Theresia Heiden-Hecht and Olaf Holderer
