PhD Full Scholarship in Future Proofing Processing of Foods at Aarhus University in Denmark; Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Food Science programme. The position is available from 1 August 2024 or later. You can submit your application via the link under ‘how to apply’. Title: Future proofing processing of foods
Research area and project description: Current markets require novel food ingredients from sustainable food sources. We can no longer process the way we are used to. We need to use less energy, less water, and produce less waste. It is critical to understand the principles underpinning the changes of food components during processing, to create optimal structures with soft materials, with low environmental footprint and as nutritious as possible. In other words, design structures for optimal nutrition performance. This project will focus on the use of up scalable processing technologies such as filtration, extrusion, steam injection and their use with plant-based material, to understand how we can future proof food processing.
Project description: For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. Please simply copy the project description above and upload it as a PDF in the application.
