1st International Vitamin Conference, 

19-21 May 2010 in Copenhagen

 

Vitamins in foods and supplements

- analytical possibilities versus nutritional need in human research, food
  databases, and labelling.
 

Welcome to Copenhagen

Welcome to The 1st International Vitamin Conference.

 

The idea of setting up this conference is to establish a forum for scientists and regulators for whom the vitamins are of major concern. Although we can't give the impression that a new vitamin will be launched we will promise to make a great effort to reveal new information on the vitamins.

 

The conference will focus on vitamins in foods and supplements in regard to human nutrition research, establishing food composition data and controlling food labelling.

 

Topics

The scientific programme includes lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions. The focus of the conference will be on the following topics:

 - how do results of analytical methods influence food composition data
 - how to assess the relative bioactivity of vitamers in foods
 - do the analytical results reflect the contribution to vitamin status from 
   foods
 - advantages and disadvantages of the analytical methods used in
   human research, nutrient profiling, checking labels and fortification
   levels
 

Who should attend?

 - Analysts in the area of food, food technology and clinical chemistry
 - Nutritionists
 - Public health researchers
 - Food and supplement industries
 - Policy makers, regulators
