Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research

Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research held a 2 day short course on starch (chemistry and properties, chemical and physical modifications, crystallinity, rheology, analytical methodology, nutritional aspects, and other applications) October 10-11, 2005 at Purdue University for our Industrial Board Member Companies. This course was geared towards individuals who wanted an in-depth review or refresher course on starch fundamentals. This was offered as part of the benefits of membership. We had 83 participants.

The 2006 short course was held November 7-8, 2006 at Purdue University with 78 participants and included the following: Starch and Non-starch Polysaccharide Chemistry, Properties, and Analysis; Starches; Hydrocolloids; Rheological Measuring Principles; and Carbohydrates and Health.
