Euro Fed
Lipid Newsletter December 2009: How to pronounce Nürnberger
Rostbratwürstel? Dear
Readers,
I
have been working for several companies in the field of Fats and Oils
since early 1990’s dealing with R&D projects, standardization
matters, product quality issues, marketing questions, environmental
purposes. In France I have been particularly involved in biodiesel
industrial development starting from the very beginning. Since 2000 as
ITERG Executive Director I have participated with my co-workers on
nutrition and green chemistry projects and did contribute to the
recognized development of the Institute. More recently with Michel
LAGARDE and Fernando LEAL CALDERON we have left the great experience of
the creation of LISA (Lipids for Industry SAfety and health) Carnot
Institute.
With the permanent objective of trying to
promote industry and academia partnerships, I have also been an active
participant to scientific societies at national level, such as AFECG,
and European level through EURO FED LIPID. After the EFL founding
generation with Michel PARMENTIER and Fritz SPENER as main prestigious
representatives, I was part of the second generation of the Council of
Management members along with Ron POTMAN and Michael BOCKISCH. In the
mean time, thanks to Frank AMONEIT’s achievements EURO FED LIPID has
become a world leader in the organization of well-established
scientific congresses and conferences and successful trade fair events
as well as editor of internationally recognized journals such as EJLST
with dedicated and faithful partners. Due to a professional move it is
now time for me to transmit EFL flame to the third generation: Marc
KELLENS, Gerrit Van DUIJN and Uwe BORNSCHEUER. Because of the solid
roots of the organization and the quality and professionalism of the
persons in charge, I do it with a great confidence for the future.
This
editorial is also an opportunity given to me to thank personalities who
did help me to learn and progress in this Fats and Oils field: Georges
VERMEERSCH, Alain BRINON, René ARMENGAUD, Jean KLERE François MORDRET
and many others.

| Euro Fed
Lipid Congresses | |
| 2010
in Munich: the
First European Fat Summit!
Euro Fed Lipid
Congress plus
oils+fats
tradeshow.
One travel, two
opportunities!
With a congress of this size, internationality and
significance draws a lot of
interest from companies wishing to enhance their visibility on
international markets. A sponsorship or an advertisement in the
framework of the 8th Euro Fed Lipid congress is the perfect investment
with excellent value for money.
The
series of Euro Fed Lipid congresses is regularly attended by
600-800 delegates from over 50 countries. With up to 50% of the
delegates working in industry, while the other half are based in
universities
or research institutions. Several
thousand copies of the programme brochure will be mailed globally in
spring. Here
you can find some suggestions for sponsorships which have been
popular among companies in the past. Don't wait too long with a
decision, some options are only available once only and with an early
decision your visibility lasts longer. For
more details contact
Frank Amoneit.
Part
2:
oils+fats
2010 24-26

Munich? | |

The
Bavarian Cuisine offers some
delicacies ("Schmankerl") not found elsewhere. On Monday 22 November
2010 you have the opportuninty to taste some of them at the
casual Bavarian Evening, which will take place at the Unionsbräu, a
homebrewery in
Munich. Test your knowledge of the Bavarian dialect and try to find out
what is served:
Hint:a good place to start is Wikipedia
(German),
search the
word and change to the language of your choice.

Division
Oleochemistry | |
|
The
Oleochemistry Division of
Euro Fed Lipid takes care of all non food uses of natural oils and
fats,
of
vegetable, animal or microbial origin. A focus of the activities will
be the
development and introduction of new value added chemicals and chemical
intermediates with the aim of changing the currently used petroleum
based
feedstock towards a renewable based economy. Nevertheless, biodiesel
and other
fuel applications will remain a core component of the division.
Moreover, the
study and application of the principles of green chemistry for the
mentioned
applications is our resolution. Therefore, the oleochemistry division
sees its
task in sharing knowledge and developing new standard for
sustainability,
renewability of natural resources and substitution of existing
chemicals with
renewable ones.
A non exhaustive list
of
oleocemical uses includes:
- Biodiesel
of first
generation as well as other
biofuels (e.g. algae, fuel from waste biomass, …)
- Development
of new plant oil based renewable platform
chemicals and products by extensively studying and developing the
chemistry of
glycerol and fatty acids
- Molecules
of high biological value, such as vitamins,
terpenic hydrocarbons, sterols that can be recovered from oil plants
and
fruits. Applications of these high value minor components can include:
nutraceuticals, pharmacological, cosmetical, or technical uses
- Cosmetic
products
- Paints,
coatings and printing inks
- Biolubricants
and biosolvents
- Detergents
and tensides
All interested
members
are invited
to join our Division, which will be organised as an open source,
web-based,
platform. (Please contact the
headquarters to join the division). All discussions covering the
above mentioned topics are
welcome. |
