Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

Following the considerable success of the First Electronic Conference on Food Science, I am delighted to invite you to join The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Foods - "Future Foods and Food Technologies for a Sustainable World (Foods 2021)". I hope that you will agree to take part in this free E-conference, which will enable you to share and discuss your most recent research findings with the vibrant worldwide community of food scientists and technologists.

Food science and technology are gaining importance in response to the global need to carefully manage resources whilst providing a nutritious diet for the burgeoning world population. It is through collaboration, communication, and community that food scientists can help to ensure that a safe and healthy diet is available to all and thus eliminate starvation and food wastage.

At this point of restricted travel and personal contact, it is a pleasure to still be able to collaborate electronically via Foods 2021 (Second International Electronic Conference on Food Science). This internet conference is designed to allow you to present your research to colleagues and interact as fully as possible with all those involved in this conference. For this, I thank the fantastic team at MDPI, who have set up and managed the complex arrangements required to allow us the opportunity to hold this virtual conference. l hope that you will meet old friends and make new ones. There will be many fascinating papers to spark everyone’s interest.

E-Conference website here: (https://sciforum.net/conference/Foods2021).

Foods 2021 is a new and exciting experience for me. I believe that it is a taste of the future. Foods 2021 will revolutionize dissemination in the field with a brand-new tool for sharing research in an online environment that will preserve the same standards and structure as expected of traditional conferences but will be more inclusive by breaking the cost and time barriers that prevent many from participating in international conferences.

Foods 2021 will make your presentation accessible to hundreds of researchers worldwide, with the active engagement of the audience in question and answer sessions and discussion groups that will take place online to enhance the experience. I hope you will join us in presenting your work at Foods 2021 and taking part in this thriving online experience.

Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee. The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to produce an extended abstract for the conference proceedings, along with a slide presentation of their work. Following the conference, outstanding contributions will be invited to be submitted for publication in Foods.

The conference has been divided into nine themes, but there will be a large amount of overlap between these themes. Please submit your articles as soon as possible, indicating which theme you think best suits your submission.

The future of humanity depends on managing the Earth’s resources and, importantly, providing a healthy sustaining diet for a burgeoning population. Food science and technology are the key areas that are needed to achieve this.

Enjoy the event!

Best wishes,

  • References

The manuscript should be at least three pages (including figures, tables, and references) and not exceed 6 pages. Authors are asked to keep their papers as concise as possible. Please do not insert any graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) into a movable frame which can superimpose on the text and make the layout very difficult.

Please note that the manuscript cannot be published in any place other than the conference proceedings. Carefully read the rules outlined in the 'Instructions for Authors' on the journal website and ensure that your manuscript submission adheres to these guidelines.

Presentation Slides

Authors are encouraged to prepare a presentation in PowerPoint or similar software, to be displayed online along with the manuscript. Slides can be prepared the same way as for any traditional conference. They should be converted to PDF format before submission.

Video Presentations

Authors are also encouraged to submit video presentations. This is an unique way of presenting your research and discussing it with peers from all over the world.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could inappropriately influence or bias their work. This should be conveyed in a separate ‘Conflict of Interest’ statement preceding the ‘Acknowledgments’ and ‘References’ sections at the end of the manuscript. If there is no conflict, please state ‘The authors declare no conflict of interest.’ Financial support for the study must be fully disclosed under the ‘Acknowledgments’ section.

Copyright

MDPI, the owner of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe that authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting a communication paper to this conference, you retain the copyright of your paper, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this paper online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your paper to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher (if required by that publisher).

Introduction:

The coffee plant Coffea spp. offers much more than the well-known drink made from the roasted coffee bean. During its cultivation and production, a wide variety of by-products are accrued, most of which are currently unused, thermally recycled, or used as fertilizer or animal feed. The modern, ecologically oriented society attaches great importance to sustainability and waste reduction, so it makes sense to not dispose of the by-products of coffee production and to bring them into the value chain, most prominently as foods for human nutrition. There is certainly huge potential for all of these products, especially on markets not currently accessible due to restrictions, such as the novel food regulation in the EU. The by-products could help mitigate the socioeconomic burden of coffee farmers caused by globally low coffee prices and increasing challenges due to climate change.

The aim of this session is to bring together international experts on coffee by-products and to share the current scientific knowledge on all plant parts, including the leaf, the cherry, the parchment, and the silver skin, covering aspects from food chemistry and technology, nutrition, but also food safety and toxicology.
