About this Event
Foodhydrocolloidstrust.org.uk
The international series of conferences on 'Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry' was initiated at Wrexham University (formerly North East Wales Institute), in 1981 and has been held biennially since then. It is now organised under the auspices of the Food Hydrocolloids Trust which was established in 1991 and is a UK registered charity (registration number 1006639).
The objects of the Trust are the advancement of the education of the public in the field of hydrocolloids in particular through the organisation of educational conferences. These now well established "Gums Conferences" are into their fifth decade, stronger and more scientific than when they were first conceived. It is well to remind everyone about the objectives of these conferences. They started in an environment where hydrocolloids were commodity materials, with little interaction between researchers and academic institutions, producers and users of additives and ingredients in food products. The subject has accelerated meanwhile. The Proceedings of these conferences have contributed greatly in this respect. The Conferences led to the launch of the Food Hydrocolloids journal in 1986 and this is now recognised as the top research journal in the area of Food Science and Technology.
