2001 Conference of Food Engineering (CoFE 2001)

这项建议要求支持COFE 2001会议，该会议将重点确定21世纪食品工程的优先事项，并将该领域与其他主要工程学科结合起来，促进来自不同工程学科领域的工程师之间的互动。该会议旨在帮助指导未来的研究重点，并围绕主要的主题轨道组织，包括：(1)食品的物理化学，(2)运输过程，(3)食品加工和包装，(4)食品工程教育，以及(5)大学和工业互动。本次会议将提供一个论坛，以审议未来急需的食品加工工程的研究方向，特别是那些来自食品工业的研究挑战。这次会议将是其系列会议中的第八次。这将是2001年11月5日至9日在内华达州里诺举行的美国化学工程师学会(AIChE)年会中的一个专题会议。组委会计划在会议结束后不久向国家科学基金会提交会议的最终报告。

This proposal requests support for CoFE 2001 conference that will focus on identifying food engineering priorities for the 21st century and on integrating this field with other major engineering disciplines and promoting interaction among engineers from various engineering discipline areas. The Conference is designed to help guide future research priorities and is organized around the major topical tracks including: (1) physical chemistry of foods, (2) transport processes, (3) food processing and packaging, (4) food engineering education, and (5) university and industry interaction. This Conference will provide a forum for consideration of future research directions of food process engineering in critical need, especially those research challenges emerging from the food industry. This Conference will be the 8th one of its series. It will be a topical conference within the annual meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) to be held in Reno, Nevada during November 5 - 9, 2001. The organizing committee plans to submit a final report of the Conference to the National Science Foundation soon after the Conference.
