Event
Acrylamide: Formation and Control Mechanisms
Back to events
26 April 2010
Event, SCI HQ, London, UK
Professor Don Mottram, University of Reading, will be discussing the science
behind the formation of acrylamide and mechanisms for its control. Don is a food
chemist who has been involved with research on acrylamide in food since the
problem was first reported in 2002. He was the first to show that acrylamide is formed
in the Maillard reaction, thus demonstrating that its formation is closely
related to the development of flavour and colour in baked and fried foods.
Don’s talk will be followed by a Q & A session with Wendy Matthews, an
independent consultant providing advice on all aspects of chemical contaminants. Wendy
has recently taken early retirement from the Food Standards Agency where she was
Head of Chemical Contaminants dealing with agricultural contaminants including
mycotoxins, acrylamide and other process contaminants as well as environmental
contaminants and food contact materials.
The evening will commence with refreshments at 18:30 with the presentation
commencing at 19:00. A wine reception will follow the Q&A; session.
