The Workshop SPECIFIC METHODS FOR FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY is organized as the pre event to PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 2010 in Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences to bring together scientists from all domains of food quality control in order to exchange their expertise, to improve scientific co-operation and to introduce the specific methods for food quality control into the Serbian market.

Scientific program

The Workshop will include lectures delivered by invited foreign and national scientists, as well as oral and poster presentations. The following tentative topics will be covered during the Workshop:

1. An overview of specific methods in food quality control
2. Food quality and safety – Advances in Analytical Techniques for toxin monitoring in food
3. Food quality and safety – Framework of European Regulation System
4. Experience of young scientists
