Late-Breaking Abstract Submissions are now closed. All Late-Breaking Abstracts are currently in the review process and submitters will be notified shortly of their status.


Important Considerations Before you Submit an Abstract

  • Edit and proof your abstract before submitting. AACCI - Cereals and Grains Association will not edit abstract submissions; they will be published as submitted.
  • All late-breaking abstracts will be considered for a poster presentation. A limited selection will be chosen for oral presentation. Final presentation type will be determined by the Cereals & Grains 19 Program Team based on quality and subject matter that best fits the Cereals & Grains 19 program.
  • An individual may be a presenter of only one (1) oral presentation and two (2) poster submissions
  • Designated presenting author (of either an oral technical or poster) MUST be registered for the 2019 AACCI - Cereals & Grains Association Annual Meeting and have paid the fee by August 1, 2019. Failure to register will result in your abstract(s) being withdrawn from the meeting.
  • Abstracts should be proofed to make sure all authors and affiliations were accepted to the online form.
  • Publications of tables, charts, and graphs projected onto screens or posted at the annual meeting by anyone other than an author or presenter is prohibited unless a release has been requested and received in writing from an author or presenter.
  • Notification of acceptance will be e-mailed the week of July29, 2019 to the presenting author only.

Expectation for Late-Breaking Abstracts

The Cereals & Grains 19 Program Team is expecting that late breaking abstracts are cutting end research vs. review submissions. Late breaking submissions should cover the latest scientific advancements. The Program Team also asks that authors provide a statement on why this work is important or relevant to the cereal grain science community.


Guidelines for Late-Breaking Technical Abstract Submission

  • Title Maximum of 25 words
  • Abstract Maximum of 400 words
  • Objectives, methods, and results are required in the abstract
  • Presenters should NOT submit work previously presented at AACCI - Cereals & Grains Association Annual Meetings
  • Abstract should highlight clear scientific advancements
  • Abstract should state relevance to industry or cereal grain science community
  • Acronyms should be explained
  • Abstract should be written in grammatically correct English

Criteria for Acceptance

Presentations for the AACCI - Cereals & Grains Association Annual Meeting are based on an anonymous peer-review process with the same requirements used for review of submissions to AACCI -- Cereals & Grains Association scientific publications (i.e. Cereal Chemistry).


The Reviewers Look for the Consistency Between the:

  • Justification
  • Objective
  • Materials and Methods
  • results and Conclusions

In Case of an Overview Presentation, Reviews Look for:

  • Added Value
  • Novelty of the Information Presented

In Addition, the Reviewers Consider the Following elements:

  • Soundness
  • Importance to the Advancement of Cereal Science
  • Timeliness of the Subject Matter
  • Clarity of the Presentation

Use of company names is prohibited in titles of presentations. Use of company name in titles will relegate the presentation to the supplier sessions. Use of registered or proprietary names or trademarks of ingredients, instruments or other items is discouraged in titles except when the name is so intimately connected with a particular process as to be synonymous with the method and results. Abstracts should minimize use of proprietary nomenclature or company name as well.


Email Confirmation

A confirmation e-mail, for each abstract submission, will be sent to the designated presenter. This will come from aaccnet@confex.com. Check your regular inbox and junk e-mail folders in case it is delivered there.

Sample Abstract

Protein composition and dough rheology of 15 wheat lines were studied. Total protein content and the ratio of polymeric to monomeric proteins (pk1/pk2) in SE-HPLC chromatograms of SDS extracts were correlated with tortilla rollability scores (TRS) (R2 of 0.51 and 0.59, respectively). However, the amounts of insoluble and soluble proteins were not significantly correlated to TRS. Stress relaxation (SR) and dough extensibility (DE) tests were conducted using a texture analyzer (TA). Consistent results were obtained at 10% strain level for doughs mixed for 5 min. Maximum resistance (Rmax) to extension during DE test and k2 (a measure of elasticity) during SR test correlated well with 12th day TRS (R2 of 0.55 and 0.48, respectively). Poor-quality dough was less elastic with lower k2 values. The extensibility (Ext) of dough was correlated significantly with the pk1/pk2 ratio (R2 of 0.64), indicating a good relationship between molecular composition of proteins and rheological property of the dough. Multivariate analysis of protein and dough characteristics showed that a combination of Ext, relaxation time and the pk1/pk2 ratio had a highly significant correlation (R2 = 0.94) with TRS.
