The Ohio State University (OSU) has extended early-bird registration until Monday, Sept. 22 for its 2014 International Nonthermal Processing Short Course and Workshop themed, “Nonthermal Processing Systems for Healthy and Sustainable Foods,” to be held Oct. 21-24 on the OSU campus.

During the workshop, participants can learn about recent advances, future research and commercialization opportunities for nonthermal processing technologies, including high pressure processing, PEF (high-intensity pulsed electric field processing), UV (ultraviolet light processing), cold plasma, and food irradiation. A one-day Nonthermal Processing Short Course is being organized prior to the workshop. An optional tour of the Avure Technologies facility in nearby Middletown, OH, is being arranged for Oct. 24.
