All presentations, oral and poster, will be included and published in a Proceedings volume. Hence, participants presenting a subject are kindly requested to submit the relative manuscript according to the following instructions. 

General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, single-spaced with 3 cm wide margins on both sides of white paper A4. Send three (3) good quality printouts using MS Word, Times New Roman with a font size of 12 pt in text and 14 pt in title. The author(s) should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given as well. An electronic copy of the manuscript should accompany the hard copy. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly.

Manuscript Length: Manuscript length should not exceed 6000 words or 8-10 typed pages, including tables, figures etc, which should be inserted in the proper position within the text.

Do not use underlining. Keep footnotes into a minimum; when exist use * or †. Use italics to notify ONLY scientific names of microorganisms, plants and animals. Avoid using abbreviations.

Manuscript Structure

First Page: The first page should contain:

Title and authors (first names preceed last name).

The working places of the authors and the address; put an asterisk (*) besides speaker’s name.

Please do not use capitals and underlining in the title and in interim titles in the text. 

Abstract: Each manuscript should be provided with an Abstract not exceeding 200 words, reporting concisely on the purpose and results of the presentation. Abstract should be written on the title page and should give contents and conclusions of the work in a concise and informative form.

Research Work

Introduction: The introduction should explain sufficiently but concisely, the latest scientific research on the subject, using recent international references. It should be followed by a short objective, showing why and with what aim the work has been done.

Materials and Methods: The description of the materials and methods used should be written in short. Do not describe well-known methodology, e.g. “… protein was determined by the Kjeldahl method … or … acidity was measured…”.

Results and Discussion: The results should be described by including tables, figures, schemes, formulae etc. Contents of tables or figures should not be repeated in the text, but should be commented if necessary. The results should be discussed with regard to present knowledge and aim of the work. Conclusions should be drawn (e. g., for further research, possibilities of transfer into practice or production).

Conclusions may be given as a separate section only when are not included in discussion.

References: Keep references into a minimum. Use only references necessary to support the presentation. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Lewis and Smith (2005) studied ..." or "...values reported by others (Jones et al., 2006)..."). The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names and should be as full as possible, listing all authors, the full title of articles and journals, publisher and year. References should be given in the following form:

Tables: Tables should be put within the text not on a separate sheet. Table numbering (in Arabic) and legend should be on the top of the table.  

Figures: Figures should be put within the text not on a separate sheet with numbering (in Arabic) and legend below of the figure. Please make sure that lettering is sufficiently large since it must remain legible after the required reduction of the figure from its original size. 

Nomenclature, Symbols, Units: The rules and recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB), the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) as well as the Système International d' Unités (Sl) should be followed. 

Abbreviations and Acronyms: These should be used sparingly but consequently.

The first time they are mentioned in the text, the complete wording should be given additionally This is not required in the case of generally known terms, e. g., UV, HPLC.
