International Bioprocessing Association (France) together with Henan Agriculture University China has instituted a living legend category award in the name of Prof Ashok Pandey. Award is known as Pandey award and has been conferred to four people (one from Australia, one from India and two from China) in its first edition. These were conferred on 3rd November 2019 at Zhengzhou China. Dr P Binod from CSIR-NIIST received it from India.
IFIBiop networking forum results from the round table organised during the meeting ICBF-2004 (International Congres in Bioprocesses in Food industrues) which was held in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It aim is the organisation of an efficient and structured networking in the field of biochemical and food engineering.
It covers the following topics :
• Food and Raw Materials Characterization and Properties: Equilibrium properties: aw, pH, antioxidant, Transport, Rheological, Chemical, Sensory & Nutritional properties, etc…
• Biocatalysis and Food Biotechnology: Microbiology of food, GMO foods, Predictive microbiology (risk assessment), Microorganisms detection, Enzyme and biocatalysis improvement, etc…
• Bioprocess engineering for Food and Feed products Development: Rational process development, Reactor design, Downstream processing, Waste and by-products treatment (environmental care), Food preservation (oxidative stability, antimicrobials…), Food packaging, Life cycle assessment, Sensors, etc…
• Bioprocess engineering for bioindustries: environmental engineering, biofuels, bioremediation, white and green biotechs, etc…
It allows partners to keep in touch to look for the networking for scientific projects, the exchange of students and faculties. This platform is opened to everyone wishing to contribute and participate on the above topics.
