Hydrocolloid dressings applied directly to these wounds prevent the evaporation of moisture from the exposed dermis and create a moist environment at the wound site that promotes cell migration.

Those that are smaller than 2mm are known to be more stable, so it is beneficial to reduce the size of particles by incorporating hydrocolloids to the juice product.

The intention of the conference series is to provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas between academia and industry and to promote the use and understanding of hydrocolloids in foods.

Entitled " Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry 18 : Hydrocolloid functionality for affordable and sustainable global food solutions " will take place June 23-26 2013 in Wrexham, North Wales.

Because hydrocolloids are sourced and used in all of the continents except Antarctica, and many types ( such as resins, seed gums, and certain alginates ) are obtained from specific countries or climate zones, the conference attracts an international attendance from Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, Africa and the Middle East.
