Advanced food systems research
Our research aims to resolve the challenges of sustainability, and healthy feeding practice of the growing future population in industrialised and developing nations through scientific and technological advancements.
Areas of research
The Research Unit has developed an extensive range of research collaborations both within Victoria University and with external organisations, including the broader academic and industrial research groups, as well as corporations internationally and within Australia. Our research is aligned with three Australian national priorities:
- environmentally sustainable Australia
- promoting and maintaining good health
- frontier technologies for building and transforming Australia.
Our researchers are involved in a number of themed projects.
- Analytical systems
Methods development and analysis of food components - Macromolecular systems
Fundamental research on understanding physical and chemical interactions governing the properties of complex food macromolecules during various units of operation - Bioprocessing systems
Fundamental and applied food biotechnology - Sustainable food systems
Advanced approaches in the food industry to ensure innovative and sustainable utilisation of our natural resources
