Program of the 16th ISHS Symposium on the Processing Tomato

04/03/2022 - Sophie Colvine - 2020 WPTC congress
More than 70 scientific papers will be presented during the 16th ISHS Symposium on the Processing Tomato which will be held mainly during the second week of the online WPTC congress, with a few invited speakers talking during joint sessions during the congress week 
 
The ISHS Symposia on the Processing Tomato are a unique forum that focuses on addressing key scientific questions and issues related to the entire tomato processing sector, from field (production for industrial purposes, applied ecophysiology, agronomy, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, genetics applied to industrial food system) to fork (organoleptic and nutritional food quality, smart quality control processes, healthy food, high quality cultivars). Holding the scientific symposia alongside the WPTC congresses, helps bringing together academics, researchers and students with growers, processors and business professionals working in the processing tomato industry. This unique setup within the ISHS symposia has been a major success story ever since the first world processing tomato congress in Avignon (France) in 1989 and the creation of WPTC in 1998 at Pamplona (Spain). 
 
The call for papers for this 16th Symposium attracted more than seventy abstract submissions from 18 different countries. This confirms the keen interest and 
enthusiasm the scientific community has for research in the fields of processing tomatoes. 
 
The symposium program has been arranged into oral and poster sessions centred on the following major topics: “Crop management “, “Processing & Technology”, “Tomato and health” over five half days between Monday 28 March to Friday 1st April, between 2 pm and 6 pm UTC. A few symposium presentations have been included in joint sessions between Monday 21 March and Friday 25 march and particularly a whole session on “Consumption Revival by Health Promotion” on Thursday 24 March.
