Welcome to ICoFF2019/ISNFF2019 and ICPH2019!

Focusing Area

We are delighted to invite you to the 7th International Conference on FoodFactors (ICoFF2019), the 12th International Conference and Exhibition on
Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (ISNFF2019) and the 9th International
Conference on Polyphenols and Health (ICPH2019).
With the mission of promoting research into all aspects of basic and applied Foodand Nutritional Science, ICoFF held its first conference in 1995 and has continued tohold every four years. ICoFF is one of the largest international conferences forresearchers, scientists, professors and students in the field of food factors and theirhealth-promoting effects. ISNFF, founded in 2007, has been focusing on theresearch and development on materials that can be used as functional foods. ICPH
has also become the most important international event to comprehensively deal
with polyphenols and their various beneficial functions for health.
For ICoFF2019/ISNFF2019, we have adopted the theme, “Food Factor Sciencefrom Molecular to Human Studies”. The conferences will offer opportunities toexchange scientific ideas and create networks between people from academia,
industry and regulatory authorities, as well as between young and establishedscientists and professionals.
For ICPH2019, we have proposed the theme “Basic and Human Studies to Reach
Our Goal” for this conference. Polyphenol research area continues to grow, andscientists have the responsibility to combine the basic study and the clinical trials
and to contribute to human health promotion. To reach this goal, we propose thetopics as essential to the symposia.
The organizing committee, mainly comprising members of the Japanese Society
for Food Factors (JSoFF), is putting its utmost efforts into preparing for theconferences, which will be held at the Kobe Convention Center and the nearby Kobe
Portopia Hotel on Port Island, Kobe. Other academic societies such as JapaneseSociety of Polyphenols, the International Union of Food Science and Technology(IUFoST) Japan, and Japanese Society of Catechinology and sponsor companies willagree to cooperate on ICoFF2019/ISNFF2019/ICPH2019.
We welcome your participation in ICPH2019 and ICoFF2019/ISNFF2019 and verymuch look forward to welcoming all of you to our wonderful city.

Welcome to Kobe!
Kobe is located in the mid-west of Japan, a region known as Kansai. The city
offers easy access for overseas visitors, with Kansai International Airport being
the closest international gateway to Kobe. Shinkansen trains, popularly known as‘Bullet’ trains, are easily accessible from Shin-Kobe Station and the journey fromTokyo, for example, only takes three hours.
The population of Kobe is a little over 1.5M (as of December, 2015), whichmakes it the 6th-largest city in Japan. Over 44,500 foreigners and more than
1,800 students from 117 countries, including China, South Korea, the U.S.A., andVietnam, live here. With such an international background, the city hasflourished as a key trading port in Japan. The average annual temperature is17.3oC, with a range of -0.9oC to 36.0oC reported in 2015, while the annual
rainfall was 1,500 mm, which means that it is generally very comfortable with amild winter and a relatively cool summer for Japan, where the four seasons arequite distinct.
Kobe is known as a city with its own unique flavor and an exotic atmosphere,
which has been influenced by the various foreign cultures it has attracted. The
city is blessed with natural beauty including Mt. Rokko and the Seto Inland Sea. It
is well known for its gourmet delights, such as Kobe Beef and confectionary, as
well as Japanese sake and wine. It is also known as the fashion center of Japan,
which gives the city a very sophisticated image. As a result, Kobe is one of themost popular cities for sightseeing in Japan with its many wonderful places tovisit, not the least of which is Arima, one of Japan’s oldest and most famous hot
springs located in the north of the city.
