Researcher (MSc level) for Research Project on Plant-based Cheese Alternatives
Vor 6 Tagen
Duration: 7 months
Commitment:
Description:
This research project focuses on the development of innovative plant-based cheese structures by investigating the interplay between formulation, processing, and sensory perception. Achieving a cheese-like texture in plant-based alternatives remains a significant challenge, particularly in replicating the complex interactions between proteins, fats, and water. This project aims to explore how different structuring techniques influence texture, meltability, and controlled flavor release during oral processing.
Main Objectives:
- Formulate and characterize plant-based cheese prototypes with varying compositions and processing conditions.
Key Tasks Include:
- Material formulation and characterization (including rheology, microscopy, and textural analysis)
- Melting and stretching behavior studies
- If time allows: sensory evaluation, including time-intensity profiling of flavor release
Preferred Background:
Knowledge or interest in one or more of the following areas: Food Physics, Biophysical Chemistry, Soft Matter Science, Material Science, Sensory Science (with a focus on ingredient functionality and texture perception).
Interested candidates (if still students) can enroll as visiting students at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), gaining access to lectures, academic resources, and student benefits such as insurance.
The project duration is flexible (minimum 6 months) and can be structured as an internship or an M.Sc. thesis, depending on the requirements of the home university.
