    2nd Food Chemistry Conference, 17-19th September in Seville
    More than 400 food scientists attended this conference to discuss the impact of research on food quality, nutrition and health and food safety. The RSC Food Group represented by Dr Jane Parker of The University of Reading presented our Food Chemistry Periodic table and generated a lot of interest with attendees, which we hope will lead to wide use of this tool to engage school children and the general public.

    Celebrating IYPT2019
    The RSC Food Group has produced a Food Chemistry Periodic Table, highlighting the function of selected elements in food chemistry, to celebrate this important milestone. It highlights element occurrences and roles in food and the body and offers an engaging tool for Outreach and educational activities.  See below for this month’s elements and follow the link on our rscfood webpage Food Related Periodic Table for more details.

    November elements and their role in food are strontium and barium  
    Also celebrating **Firework colours** from their salts – strontium salts for RED!!!  and barium salts for GREEN!!!
