Sessions and Tracks
Track 1: Science and Technology of Food
Food science is the methodical investigation of the essential components of food products and the scientific ideas underlying their modification, preservation, and deterioration. It is the study of food features, such as their chemical, biochemical, physical, physiochemical, and biological aspects, as well as how those properties affect the quality of the final product. It also covers the application of this knowledge to the creation of new products and efficient processing methods.

Track 2: Chemistry and Biochemistry of Food
The study of chemical reactions and interactions between the biological and non-biological components of food is known as food chemistry. Given that it deals with food constituents such carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water, vitamins, and dietary minerals, it has some overlap with biochemistry. The goal of food biochemistry is to improve knowledge of the specific composition of foods, particularly those that provide nutrients that are good to human health.

Track 8: Food, Nutrition and Health
Food is a substance, typically of plant or animal origin, that is consumed and digested by the body in order to produce energy, promote growth, and maintain life. Nutrition describes the process through which food is ingested and used by the body. Not just the absence of sickness or illness, but also total physical, mental, and social well-being, is what is meant by the term "health." Good health is largely dependent on efficient nutrition and food consumption management.
Track 9: Food Safety Standards
Food handling, storage, and storage procedures are referred to as "food safety" in order to prevent sickness or injury in foods. Food products may encounter a variety of health risks as they move through the supply chain, from farm to factory to fork. Healthy food handling procedures and practises are also required at all stages of the food manufacturing process in order to reduce these dangers and protect consumers.
Track 10: Quality Control and Quality Assurance of Food
Food quality control (QC) is a reactive procedure with the objective of locating and fixing flaws in completed goods. Food Quality Assurance (QA) is a group of quality assurance procedures used in the production of goods. By concentrating on the production process, it is a positive procedure that aids in removing flaws.

Track 11: Food Substitution and Adulteration
Food adulteration is the deliberate degradation of the quality of food provided for sale through the addition or subtraction of valuable ingredients, the blending of inferior ingredients, or both. As the name implies, a food substitute is a nutritional supplement meant to take the place of one or more daily meals.

Track 14: Food Security Challenges in COVID-19
To live an active and healthy life, all citizens must always have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, secure, and nutrient-rich food that satisfies their dietary needs and food preferences. The worldwide society faces formidable obstacles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Track 15: Food Packaging and Preservation
A product constructed from any material, including paper, glass, plastic, aluminium, and wood, that is used for the containment, safety, handling, distribution, and display of goods from raw to processed ingredients is referred to as food packaging. Food packaging is at the very core of the contemporary food industry, and very few products are offered without packaging.
