Dear colleagues, dear friends,
   
   It is our great pleasure to invite you to the participation in the symposium of CzechFoodChem 2026 and again to Prague. You can already look forward to new interesting topics and discussions, an excursion to interesting places as well as to the traditional sensory meeting, which will be held on the eve of the main program, i.e. on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
    CzechFoodChem 2026 - Symposium on new trends in food production, chemistry and analysis is a well-established traditional annual meeting of experts in food, agricultural and related fields, both from manufacturing practice and research, inspection, control and educational institutions and authorities. It is organized by the Expert Group for Food and Agricultural Chemistry, the Czech Chemical Society, and the Department of Food Analysis and Nutrition, University of Chemical Technology (UCT) Prague. The co-organizers are the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague and the Czech Agrifood Research Center.
    The scientific program is focused on the new trends in food production, chemistry and analysis of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, additives, contaminants, sensory and physiologically active compounds, and other constituents of food and food raw materials. The presentations of hot news from companies and institutions, whose activities are closely related to the food industry, inspection authorities and research, are also welcome.
    The program will include an introductory plenary block of lectures on current topics, which will be presented by leading experts from the food and related fields.

The official languages of the Symposium are Czech, English and Slovak (without translation).

You are cordially invited.
