PhD: Co-fermentation in the whisky industry for sustainability and flavour creation
The International Centre for Brewing and Distilling (ICBD) at Heriot-Watt University in association with the Scotch Whisky Research Institute (SWRI) are offering an IBioIC-Industry co-funded PhD project, expected to commence by 30th September 2022. Read more
Novel beer brewing processes
Traditional beer production is one of the oldest biotechnology processes, however there is increasingly a demand for further innovation to create new and higher quality product lines as well as improved production economics. Read more
KESS 2 Master of Research : Assessment of the variability in protein content of cheese whey generated by Welsh cheese manufacturers using a combination of high performance liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry and immunological techniques.
Project ID: AUM70004. Annual Stipend: £11,937. Application Deadline: 13th June 2022. Project Description. Read more
Net Zero crops: Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from linseed (PhD)
Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, largely driven by fertiliser applications. This includes the production of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas (GHG) approximately 300 times more powerful at driving climate warming than carbon dioxide over 100 years. Read more
AI and Ensemble approaches to model transient lipid deterioration in particulate food systems
Lipids are a major constituent of a number of dry particulate foods like infant and children foods which are worth around USD 50 Billion. Read more
The Icing on the Doughnut: Exploring the flow properties of complex biomolecules
What if you wanted to really move the needle on health? For a start you’d have to recognise that telling the consumer to change their eating habits hasn’t really worked and it is unlikely it ever really will. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Filling the fibre gap: functional and metabolic potential of high amylose wheat
Project description. Wheat is the most widely grown food crop and the most traded cereal in the world today. It is therefore a perfect foundation for raising the nutritional quality of the food supply to help improve overall health of communities worldwide. Read more
Project at Brunel University: Designer plant burgers – use of targeted biochemistry and chemistry to generate flavour (taste and aroma) during extrusion of plant protein
Project description. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the interface of engineering and flavour science to develop and improve the taste of plant-based meat products, providing tasty and sustainable alternatives for flexitarian and vegetarian consumers. Read more
Project at University of Reading - A New Approach to the Production of Cultured Meat with Enhanced Texture
Project description. Future food production needs to meet a growing demand for food and changing diets, as the human population is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050. Read more
The impact of peat free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of kale
Peat is a finite resource that has been exploited by the horticulture industry, leading to damage of peatland habitats. Peat products are being phased out in the UK and Ireland and replaced with peat-free alternatives, such as biochar, coir, and bark composts. Read more
The development of tools and resources for the identification of inhibitors of pigment biosynthetic pathways in the chloroplast
Herbicide synergies are desirable, allowing lower application rates, or frequency of treatments, reducing the incidence of herbicide resistance and conferring effects across a greater range of weed species. Read more
Nutritional enhancement of fruits and vegetables
Background. A wealth of scientific evidence now exists to show that diets rich in fruits and vegetables are beneficial to human well-being and health [1]. Read more
Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
Improving nutrient utilisation, animal health, and food production efficiency via dietary directed modulation of the intestinal barrier
New feed technologies are required to increase efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of primary food production, helping animal-based sectors meet the challenges of future policy changes. . Read more
Development of rapid tests for plant toxins
The overall aim of the project is the design, construction and implementation of a rapid bionanosensor for the single and multiplex analysis of plant toxins. Read more
