Second International symposium on Gluten-free cereal-products and beverages


The Second International Symposium on Gluten-Free Cereal Products and Beverages, GF10, will be held in Tampere, Finland, on 8-11 June 2010.
This symposium follows the inaugural event held in Cork, Ireland, in 2007.


The prevalence of coeliac disease is increasing. The disease is triggered by gluten, but it is still not fully clear which cereal proteins are the harmful ones. It is a major technological challenge for food scientists to design alternative gluten-free products of high quality. Another challenge is the rapid and reliable analysis of gluten so that the safety of gluten-free products can be ensured.


These are some of the topics to be discussed in the symposium. Do not miss this event! Any further information, all updates, registration and abstract submission will be mediated through the symposium website at: http://www.helsinki.fi/gf10/
