How To Turn Auburn Blonde

Cibus Tec - Article taken from "The art of cooking", November / December 2009


In Parma, from Tuesday 27 to Friday, October 30, 2009, was held "Cibus Tec 2009 - Food Processing & Packaging Exhibition
", the exhibition on the mechanical and the agrifood industry.

Cibus Tec is the most comprehensive exhibition of the new technologies of the entire agrifood chain: production, processing, packaging, traceability, logistics, test and control everything that is connected to it.
Assuming that food is a modification of the raw material base (modifications that can be searched or wild and convoluted) requires biological knowledge, biochemical, chemical, microbiological and physical food as well as the mastery of techniques and process technologies. This requirement is essential in modern agrifood markets in relation to legislation and mandatory quality and the very survival of a company. Applying the technique, namely the ancient craftsmanship, technology, or modern scientific knowledge, we can streamline, innovate and develop processes to make them suitable to the demands of consumers and businesses.
Until the eighties, before some well-known food scandals, it could very well sell any product in a market paid little attention to qualitative aspects. Today the situation has changed structurally: il prodotto dev'essere buono ma prima di tutto salubre, per questo è fondamentale conoscere alla perfezione ciò che si produce e come lo si produce.
Per questo la fiera trova sempre più significato per l'intero settore: offrendo sempre n uove tecnologie e soluzioni.

Le “Fiere di Parma” festeggiano quest'anno il settantesimo anno dalla nascita, avvenuta nel 1939 proprio in occasione della prima rassegna sulle tecnologie alimentari “Mostra autarchica per scatole ed imballaggi per conserve alimentari”.
Non a caso questa manifestazione, oggi come allora, si svolge nella città ducale: fin dagli anni '20, Parma, era primo centro nazionale della produzione e trasformazione tomato. In the same decade in the Emilian city settles the Experimental Station for the Food processing and preservation so that determines the beginning of a scientific development that goes hand in hand with the mechanical knowledge to improve the technology sector. After the end of World War II, the machinery for processing of tomato products are sold to Parma in all imp made preservation of the world. Equal growth in terms of turnout and new initiatives, there is also the fair exhibition, renamed Tecnoconserve, is confirmed as the largest international exhibition of technologies dedicated to food production industry. New equipment and technology, consumer trends and food fads are shown by companies to companies.

In a globalized world, the horizons of global business and become entrepreneurs. To respond appropriately to market trends the fair this year pointed to a high degree of internationalization, were hosted in Parma 300 official delegates representing 26 countries, which were added to the expected 30,000 trade visitors who have visited Cibus Tec 2009.
As mentioned above, a host of exhibitors participating directly or indirectly related to the food industry. Starting from the largest companies of machinery for processing (including this year for the first time, there were also from China or Japan), we find imprese di pavimentazione e allestimenti per industria alimentare, camici e vestiari per gli addetti, laboratori di analisi chimica, laboratori di controllo qualità, imprese produttrici di materiale per la pulizia di ambienti e della persone, ditte di packaging, di strumentazione informatica per controllo processi e tracciabilità, editoria specializzata, imprese di consulenza, addirittura il consolato indiano e molto altro.

Il target a cui gli espositori e la fiera stessa si rivolgono con le proprie offerte è di certo quello delle imprese operanti nell'alimentare, ma non solo.
Infatti, per questo evento, si incontrano a Parma anche numerose aziende che non operano nè direttamente nè indirettamente nel settore d'interesse, and that converge here only to make contact with large groups that offer services and mechanical products across a portion of these companies in sectors as diverse and range from the supply.

addition to the trade show stimulates debate in the area. Traditionally
were held the days dedicated to the main topics of industrial interest: the Milk Day, the Day Tomato and Meat Day
In addition, this year the organization has invested in promoting the communication between exhibitors, visitors and share third. Among the protagonists of the most interesting speakers we can mention: ONR (National Observatory on Waste), University of Parma, SSICA (Station Experimental for the Food processing and preservation), Bureau Veritas, Updating, e-Journals, inside the halls of the fairgrounds have been identified four areas of outreach, "each with its own theme and edited by a specialist partner, in which were examined, as many issues of structural importance for the food industry.
These activities complement the conference program of Cibus Tec, have thus provided even more insights and opportunities for interaction between the players on the field.
The four areas were divided as follows: Waste
popular area, an area popular technology and research, an area popular services for risk management in food technology, an area popular Power Supply Technology.
addition, at the same time Cibus Tec 2009 will take place "Trace Id", a show completely dedicated to the traceability of food products.
E 'should be noted the large number of journals, publications and publishing houses operating in the catering and food industry for the most unknown to the general public.

The 2009 edition of the fair closes with so many positive results: the turnout was large-more than 850 exhibitors, 21 thousand visitors and 107 journalists.
Ultimately, at the end of the fair, the signs that emerge at the end of the meeting as well as those from the market is encouraging and it is clear that the holding of the fund remains strong despite the bad period for the economy.
To point out the ever increasing global trend towards a rapid move to a new and more advanced power management: power generation from the reuse of agricultural waste and the production and use of renewable energy sources, extensive (sun and wind) and intensive ( biomass, biofuels, biogas). All
strongly urged by the European Union and bodies internazinali.
peeking future plans for "Fiere di Parma" we discover that the intention now official, is to go to every three years for the organization of Cibus Tec to give space to individual thematic conferences that thanks to growth in this edition will become annual, but still maintain the indisputable priority of the central manifestation of the latter.
