Welcome from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
Following the previous successful meetings of the Electronic Conference since 2021, it is a great pleasure to announce that foods will host the 4th International Electronic Conference, “Focus on Sustainable Food Systems: Current Trends and Advances”, which will be held during 15-30 October 2023. This conference will provide a great platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Sustainable Food Systems.
The food system is a comprehensive and complex network, which includes all the industries involved in food production and processing, their interlinked value-added activities, and the parts of economic, social, and natural environmental sciences. Sustainable Food Systems mean economic sustainability, social sustainability, and environmental sustainability based on human nutrition and food security embedded in the food system.
A sustainable Food System is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and one of the key goals of sustainable development in the world. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Food Systems faced significant global and regional challenges. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) put forward The Four Betters: Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life, which reflect the interconnected economic, social, and environmental dimensions of agri-food systems. Therefore, we need more innovations in the sustainable food system, focusing on the following sections:
S1: Food Security and Sustainable Food Supply (with special emphasis on Agri-Food & Food Industry, pandemic, COVID, supply chain, societal elements, etc)
S2: International Trade and Food Economic
S3: Food Sensory and Consumer Choices
S4: Food Physical and Structural Property
S5: Food Chemistry and Biochemistry
S6: Food Analysis, Biotechnology, and Engineering
S7: Food Quality and Safety
S8: Food Microbiology
S9: Functional Foods, Nutrition and Health
We look forward to welcoming you to this e-conference. We hope that more scholars in various fields related to Food Systems can participate in this platform to share and discuss the most cutting-edge research development of Sustainable Food Systems in the world.
Best wishes,
Prof. Dr. Arun K. Bhunia
Chair of Foods2023

Descriptive analysis is an advanced analytical sensory methodology that is available to the sensory scientist to characterize consumer products in the same category mainly for guiding research and development. The beginning of descriptive analysis could be attributed to the development of the Flavor Profile method at Arthur D. Little Co., Cambridge, Massachusetts in the 1950s. Since then, this methodology has evolved and created various descriptive techniques, including some current techniques that blurring the lines between analytical and affective methods, or the type of data being collected. The aim of this session is to explore the past, present and the future of descriptive analysis and how it became an indispensible analytical tool for sensory scientist the world over.
Specifically, the following topics will covered in this live session: 1. The changing face of descriptive analysis methodology over the past 70 years. Tentative Speaker: Dr. Edgar Chambers IV. 2. The classical methods in descriptive analysis. Tentative

Date: 27 October 2023
Time: 15:00 PM (GMT+02:00/CEST - Central Europe)
Session Chair: Prof Dr. Anet Režek Jambrak
Introduction:
Sustainability aspects of food science are increasingly important. How to promote and strive for more sustainable food systems throughouts the food science and food processing technology is of interest to a wide range of scholars. The three dimensions of sustainability are particularly well represented in the solutions provided by food science and technology in projects namely: the eco-friendliness of all transformation steps [environmental]; the preferences, acceptance and needs [social]; and the creation of added value [economic]. In light of actions and impact, researchers and indutry need to find new possibilities of low eenrgy and low emission processing, in assuring safe, nutritive and tasetful food alligned with sustainable food production chain.
The main topic of this session is to improving sustainability in food production/food technology/food packaging/food determination/food supply chain and strategies to implement innovative approaches to recycle, reduce, reuse and upcycle waste/surplus in the supply/production chain. Thus, we focus on:
- Pulsed light technology and sustainability
- Effectiveness of lactic acid as a food-grade antimicrobial against planktonic and biofilm growth of foodborne Campylobacter strains in pure and mixed cultures
- An insight into chayote (Sechium edule) peels valorization
- Properties of oil extracted from oat grains before and after the roasting process conducted under different conditions

MDPI, the publisher 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).
