Our annual day of professional and technical interest for members of the cereals industry presents the refined and utmost trends in new research. Cereals day is the most important professional arrangement for bakers, suppliers to the baking business, owners and employees in bakeries and salespersons in bread and cereals.


"See you at Nofima Mat on 9 June," says Project Manager of Cereals day Camilla Grefsli at Nofima Mat. Here are some tidbits from the programme.

Quality variations
New research gives us important knowledge of quality variations in wheat due to climatic variations. If you've often wondered why the quality of wheat varies so much, come to Cereals day where grain researchers Anette Moldestad and Anne Kjersti Uhlen will give you part of the answer. They will be presenting their results from the project "Stable and correct Norwegian food wheat quality - fortified competitive strengths in a more open market".

Live consumer survey
BarleyBread may be the largest and most innovative research project on barley in Europe ever. Project Manager Sveinung Grimsby will give the participants a short introduction to the project. The audience will then be able to participate in the research themselves through a live consumer survey. Press the mentometer button and give your vote - the results will be presented at the end of the same day. We will also give you an idea of why you react as you do to different tastes. Honorary doctor and pioneer in sensory science Magni Martens will use results from the BarleyBread project to tell us about what influences factors such as taste and appearance.

Trends and successes
The programme of this year's Cereals day will also include current trends (what's in and what's out), opportunities with sourdough made of barley and oats, and regulations regarding branding products in relation to health promoting factors. "We will also serve the participants fresh success stories from Norwegian bakeries," ensures Grefsli.
