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. ICPHhas also become the most important international event to comprehensively dealwith 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 ReachOur Goal” for this conference. Polyphenol research area continues to grow, andscientists have the responsibility to combine the basic study and the clinical trialsand 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 Societyfor Food Factors (JSoFF), is putting its utmost efforts into preparing for theconferences, which will be held at the Kobe Convention Center and the nearby KobePortopia 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.

Over 44,500 foreigners and more than1,800 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 annualrainfall 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.
