PhD Scholarship in Food Engineering / Food PhysicsDepartment of Food Science (FOOD KU), Faculty of Science (SCIENCE) at University of Copenhagen in collaboration with Arla is offering a PhD scholarship commencing 1 June 2021 or soon thereafter. The application deadline is 1 May 2021. Project description The project will study aim to understand the kinetics of changes in multicomponent dairy particle formulations during dynamic storage conditions and how they link to reconstitution. There are significant opportunities to promote sustainable nutrition by developing protein rich dairy formulations that could be used in developing countries. Such products include dairy powders mixed with other ingredients, e.g. sugar vegetable fats etc. Stability becomes a challenge, as storage in adverse conditions, e.g. temperature and humidity. The project will include establishing a systematic approach to underpinning mechanisms at microscopic and macroscopic scales in dry systems. The objectives of the project are: 1) Understand key transformations leading to reduced reconstitution ability.; 2) Understand dynamics of water interactions with key powder components using a range of techniques, e.g. microscopy, spectroscopy. 3) Establish methods to predict stability and design the production of stable powders and dry products. The PhD project will be undertaken in collaboration with Arla. Arla’s goal The project will be hosted by University of Copenhagen.
