Tracomme Food Science Day

Practical expertise for life sciences and food analysis
How can product properties be analyzed in a targeted manner, processes optimized, and quality reliably ensured? At the Tracomme Food Science Day, experts from industry and research gain valuable insights into modern analytical methods and their practical applications.
Experts from NETZSCH, Fritsch, and other companies and research institutions will showcase current applications in food processing, product structure, and thermal analysis. Topics will include the characterization of fats, water, and proteins, as well as how analytical methods can address specific challenges in product development and quality assurance.
Here’s what participants can expect:
- Practical technical presentations and current application examples
- Insights into modern analytical and characterization methods
- Expertise for product development and quality assurance
- Networking with experts from industry and research
- Opportunities to discuss specific questions and gain new insights for daily work
