A team of researchers from the Functional Grains Centre attended the Australian Oilseeds Federation Forum in October. Functional Grains Centre postdoctoral researcher, Dr Siong Tan reports.

The Australian Oilseeds Federation Forum 2017, held in Sydney on Thursday 26 October 2017 focused on bringing science and industry together.

The forum examined all aspects of the supply chain from oilseeds to meal and oils. Topics included the need to meet market demands, new products and the supply chain implications, making best use of the meal protein, and the latest innovations.

FGC member Dr Randy Adjonu gave a talk on oils’ latest trends and advances. I gave a presentation about canola meal, focused on processing of canola meal into a high protein, high value meal.

It was a great day away from the laboratory to socialise with people from the oilseed industry and an important opportunity to catch up with current industry partner and prospective collaborators to develop new partnerships.
