To address these challenges, we are organizing sessions under the following titles for next year's annual meeting: Guided Crystallization/Solidification of Lipids General Session on Crystallization Structured Lipid-Based Fluids Emulsions and Lipid-Dispersed Systems Nano-Liquids and Solids NonTriaclyglycerol Lipid Interactions (joint session with Phospholipids Division) Information from these sessions can be used to help food formulators, developers, and manufacturers reduce the level of fats in food systems, or minimize or maximize the use of specific fatty acids or nutrients for nutritional purposes. Please feel free to contact division officers for further details. We would also be interested in knowing if a Hot Topic Session on Oilseed Economics—A Global Perspective and Forecast at next year's meeting would be of interest to our members. Please contact the AOCS office or division officers to express interest or offer a speaker recommendation. In addition to the annual meeting, our division is proposing to organize a two-day conference on the Function of Lipids in Foods, to be organized with the Food Structure and Functionality Forum Division for the third quarter of 2009. More information will be available by the next newsletter. I also encourage our members to utilize AOCS Connect as an open innovation tool to find solutions to your food lipid problems and challenges. Please contact Kathy Atchley (kathya@aocs.org) for more information on participating in AOCS Connect. Please feel free to contact me or other EAT division officers if you are interested in becoming more active in our division or have ideas for session topics, speakers, a conference, or a short course.
