Max Rubner Conference on “Food Metabolomics”
We are pleased to announce the second international Max Rubner Conference on Food Metabolomics to be held from October 10th -12th, 2016, at the Max Rubner-Institut, the German Federal Research Institute of Nutrition and Food, in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Food quality, food safety and the effect of food and nutrition on human health are of great interest for consumers, policy-makers and the food industry. The food metabolome - i.e. the entirety of all low molecular weight compounds in a specific food - can be extremely complex, often comprising several thousand chemical species. For this reason, untargeted metabolomics approaches have been applied to investigate food-related research issues comprehensively, shedding more light on the effect of factors like environmental influences, production and processing procedures, storage conditions or the variety. Untargeted metabolomics is also increasingly used to monitor foods in order to ensure authenticity and to detect unexpected contaminants or food fraud. Further, metabolomics is becoming more and more popular as a tool to identify markers of food intake. Consequently, food metabolomics can nowadays be considered as a valuable tool for the assessment of food quality, food safety and food-related health effects.
Confirmed speakers:
• David Wishart, University of Alberta, Canada
• Hannelore Daniel, Technical University of Munich, Germany
• Fulvio Mattivi, Fondazione Edmund Mach, Italy

Max Rubner Conference 2016 You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
