Wageningen University & Research
The Food Process Engineering Laboratory is a group of about 15-20 staff (scientific and technical), 50 - 60 PhD students and postdocs, and typically 50 - 80 BSc and MSc students doing their theses in our group per year. The group is internationally oriented and widely recognised and works together with scientific groups and industries from all over the world.
We work as team on finding new ways to prepare foods in much more sustainable ways, keeping them fresher and tastier, and healthier for the consumers. As foods are very complex products, we need to obtain deeper insight of their response to treatment, to understand how we could keep them in a fresher state, and how we could help people having a healthier diet. We aim for this at truly new principles for processing, not at improving existing processes. And we have found that there is a lot to explore.
We therefore have the ambition to grow further scientifically by investing in better understanding in 'multi-scale' phenomena, combining phenomena from (supra)molecular properties, mesoscale interactions, towards the prediction of macro-scale properties of foods or food components, under conditions of processing. We have a long tradition of collaboration with people in other academic groups over the world, within our own University, and with our group.
The mission of Wageningen University and Research is "To explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life".
