1^st  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

Thank you to all the persons who joined The 1^st International Vitamin Conference.

The idea of setting up this conference was to establish a forum for scientists and regulators for whom the vitamins are of major concern. 

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

Topics

The scientific programme included lectures, oral presentations and poster sessions. The focus of the conference were 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

Organisation

The conference were arranged by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in cooperation with Øresund Food.
