As a not-for-profit international scientific society, IFT notes its members number some 22,000 worldwide and work “in food science, technology and related professions in the industry, academia and government.” This year’s theme was “Driving Growth and Sustainability Through Innovation.” Over 200 educational sessions, which included more than 1,000 individual poster sessions and oral presentations, covered topics ranging from “Career Development 101: Getting and Keeping Your Dream Job,” for student attendees, to “Virulence of Listeria monocytogenes Following Repeated Exposure to Ultraviolet Light” and everything in between. Show floor observations showed trends much the same as seen in the “2008 Prepared Foods’ R&D Trends Survey: Functional Foods” (see page 89). They include nutrition and health, with some emphasis on fortification, energy, omega-3s, vitamins, obesity, children’s health and vitality; flavors (taste still matters), with some focus on South America; Superfruits and antioxidants, such as pomegranate, cranberry, raspberry and white tea; and “minus products,” that is, glutenfree, reduced-sodium and reduced-sugar. Exhibitors also promoted natural ingredients, ways to obtain cleaner labels and information on how to offer health claims. They reported processors were interested in ingredient multi-functionality, impact on production efficiency and cost. On the following pages, suppliers—whether IFT exhibitors or not—profile their company offerings. Note: The 2009 IFT annual convention will be held June 6-10 at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, Calif. In 2010, it will be in Chicago, July 17-21.
