Sustainable food packaging - Biomaterials interactions and food quality


This project will evaluate the use of novel materials and thermoforming technologies in challenging food model systems, and the consequences of moving away from conventional packaging



The project will have a whole systems approach, from materials, to recyclability, to food quality and consumer experience. The project will require a literature review, pilot scale testing, advanced chemistry (chromatography and electrophoresis) rheology and microstructure techniques.

The work will be located at Department of Food Science, but some visits to companies will be necessary.
