Food Chemistry
The laboratory of Food Chemistry is engaged in research and education about food chemistry. Our mission is to generate and disseminate knowledge of the molecular properties and interactions of key food components within the food matrix during industrial processing and digestion of foods AND to develop biochemical tools in order to improve the quality and healthiness of foods and food ingredients.
Chair group holder
Our research
The Laboratory of Food Chemistry chair group generates and disseminates knowledge of the molecular properties and interactions of key food components within food and agricultural raw materials during processing and digestion of foods. We also focus on the development of biochemical tools in order to improve the quality and healthiness of food and food ingredients.
Our education
The Laboratory of Food Chemistry offers many courses, thesis projects and internships. Learn more about them.
