Food Processing & Engineering– Research Groups

Our research group applies the principles of engineering to food manufacturing and operations to preserve or improve the quality attributes of the food. In particular, we focus on food ‘process systems engineering’ and food processes that involve special functional components. Our food engineering research areas include process modelling, optimisation, and control of food processes. For food processing, we have major research efforts in baking, dairy and organic food processing, on top of other state-of-the-art food processes. Our group is also interested in functional foods and the associated processing technologies.
