We have 12 Food Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students in Reading
Microbial cell protein production and food applications
Microbial proteins provide a sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional animal and plant-based proteins and as such are attracting significant research and commercial interest. Read more
Prebiotics and synbiotics for human health - converting biomass into functional food ingredients
Prof. Rastall is interested in research in the area of prebiotic oligosaccharides, synbiotic combinations with probiotics and the impact of structure on the gut fermentation of carbohydrates. Read more
Integrative approach to valorise vegetable waste
The FAO estimates that around one third of all food produced worldwide is not consumed, which represents around 1.3 billion tons per year, and is wasted throughout the whole food chain, from farmers to consumers. Read more
Modulation of fortified foods for older adults
Protein requirements increase with age as protein can help minimise sarcopenia and improve immunity. However protein fortified foods are often poorly accepted by older adults and can lead to numerous negative sensory attributes. Read more
Using campus catering to improve the health and well-being of university students
The university of Reading as adopted the Menus of Change principles into it's campus catering. Read more
Extracellular vesicles in health and disease
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is associated with classical and emerging risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), correlates with disease progression and is an independent predictor of the risk of future cardiovascular events. Read more
Structure-function relationships governing polyphenol bioactivity with respect to plasma membranes
This project aims to investigate polyphenol binding to lipid membrane surfaces with a view to understanding how polyphenol structure and aggregation within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) affects the bioavailability of these nutraceuticals. Read more
Sustainability Integration of Low-Carbon Production and Consumption within the Food System
As the world transitions to low carbon systems across all sectors, dramatic changes will be required across our society to reach our net zero targets. Read more
Advancing Liquid Atmospheric Pressure (LAP) MALDI Mass Spectrometry
MALDI. mass spectrometry has been a cornerstone of modern biological mass. spectrometry, enabling the soft ionization, analysis and characterisation of. Read more
Protein engineering enzymes for Industry
Project Overview. We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more
Effect of dietary vitamin B supplementation on brain synaptic activity
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of B vitamins (e.g., B6, B12 and folate) for optimal physiological and neurological functioning. Read more
Impact of maternal obesity on offspring adipogenesis
Obesity is the major health crisis of this generation. Thus, research into the mechanistic basis behind obesity is of paramount importance. Read more
