This conference will be one of the big International meetings exclusively dedicated to the field of Advances in Food Science and Technology. The conference will be extremely useful in the sense that it will be attended by hundreds of Food technologists,Chemists, Physicists, nutrition experts, Engineers, doctors and researchers. The goal of the conference emphasizes interdisciplinary research on various types of cooking (such as roasting, smoking, steaming, and oven baking), Such basic food processing involved chemical enzymatic changes to the basic structure of food in its natural form, as well served to build a barrier against surface microbial activity that caused rapid decay.

This symposium will bring together a panel of highly-accomplished experts in the field of Advances in Food Science and Technology and Processing. Talks will encompass basic studies and applications and will address topics of novel issues.  During the three-day conference, we will listen to recognized authorities in the field as they discuss recent advances, difficulties, and breakthroughs in the field of Food Science and Technology. The conference will feature keynote addresses, a number of plenary sessions, invited talks and contributed lectures focusing on specific tenets of Food Science and Technology.  Additionally, there will be several poster sessions, and three best poster presentations will be selected for the awards.

In view of your excellent contributions to the field, we would like to welcome you to give an invited talk at the conference.  The scientific committee of the conference is aware of your published works in this field. We would appreciate if you could e-mail us a one-page abstract of the talk (in the MS Word format) at the earliest to the conference Email ID: food* (Deadline for the submission of abstracts is 1^stOctober 2015 and Deadline for the submission of full paper is 1^st November 2015). An appropriate title could be decided by you.

CONFERENCE THEME Scientific studies of the Earth System are generally oriented towards understanding three broad and inter-related issues, namely: the origin and evolution of the Earth through geological time span of about 4.55 Ga; the formation of earth resources and their distribution in space and time; and the earth processes in land-ocean-atmosphere interfaces. The evolution of the solid earth witnessed several bench mark events like core-mantle separation within 50 Ma since the origin of Earth, when bulk of the siderophile elements sank down to the core and the resultant thermal energy initiated the mantle convection, followed by extraction of continental and oceanic crust from the bulk silicate Earth. Mantle convection is believed to have played a significant role in several geodynamic processes including sea floor spreading, and the making and breaking of super-continents through the geological time. The formation of hydrosphere and atmosphere paved the way for the origin of life and its proliferation in water bodies and landmass from about 2500 Ma onwards. Human civilization has always relied on various Earth resources for survival, growth and development. Geoscientists have made significant contribution in understanding the genesis and spatial distribution of resources of industrial and ore minerals, fossil fuels and groundwater. Based on this knowledge several geological, geochemical and geophysical exploration methods have been developed and these are successfully practiced for discovery of earth resources. Earth’s surface processes on land, ocean and their interfaces with atmosphere have a direct bearing on landforms, climate, rainfall and vegetation. Understanding these processes helps in supporting agriculture, and zonation and mitigation of several natural hazards.

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS ? Keynote Address "Megaclasts (giant clastic deposits) ? replacing ‘blocks’, ‘slabs’ and ‘monoliths’ on the extended Wentworth grain-size scale for sedimentary particles." will be delivered by Prof. James P.
