Mark your calendars! New INFORM seminar coming on June 25th! For more information, visit: https://buff.ly/cFnTNZG INFORM seminar: Food chemists have a limited selection of antioxidants to prevent food from becoming rancid due to lipid oxidation processes. However, combining antioxidants may facilitate their mutual regeneration, hence prolonging the efficacy of the preservative. In this webinar, discover how researchers identify synergistic antioxidant combinations and the reality of what happens when they get incorporated into a food system. Instructor: Ipek Bayram currently serves as a lecturer in the Food Engineering Department at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. She obtained her Ph.D. and conducted postdoctoral research in the Food Science Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst under the guidance of Dr. Eric A. Decker. Her research interests include food chemistry, lipid chemistry, lipid oxidation, antioxidants, bioactive lipids, and emulsions. Date & Time Jun 25, 2025 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. Learning Objectives After attending this seminar, learners will be able to: ✔️ Understand the mechanisms of lipid oxidation and the functions of antioxidants. ✔️ Understand the fundamental mechanisms of antioxidant synergism in various food systems, including bulk oils and emulsions. ✔️ Identify synergistic criteria for selecting antioxidants to create stable food products. ✔️ Understand the process of antioxidant regeneration, its significance in food systems, and the various factors influencing regeneration reactions within food. ✔️ Identify examples of regenerating antioxidants that may induce synergistic antioxidant interactions. Who Should Attend: This course is for students, academics, and industry professionals interested in lipid oxidation and antioxidant chemistry. It is aimed at those involved in producing antioxidant ingredients, investing in antioxidants, and developing stable food products. (fb)
