The food science project, launched in July 2006, applies nuclear-based techniques to investigate fundamental and industrial problems of national significance in food science.

 

The current interests of the group relate to determining structure-function relationships in food-based systems, such as proteins and polysaccharides, with direct applications to food processing and human nutrition.
