Platform for Dairy Process Technology

To meet Danish dairy industry future needs in the area of dairy processing, the vision of this professorship is to support the development of innovative and sustainable processing solutions for manufacturing of high quality, healthy and natural dairy products.

Our mission is to deliver high quality research and skilled dairy talents.

Research activities will be focused on understanding and controlling the role of processing on transforming milk and milk fractions into added value products and ingredients. This includes, without jeopardise safety, improving the health and nutritional benefits, flavour, texture and functionality as well as developing processing solutions for extension of shelf-life. The understanding of heat, pressure, electric field, mass and flow transport coupled with their effect on product structure (from molecular to macrostructural level) and kinetics (chemical or physical reactions) during processing allows extracting information that can be used to improve and design processing towards the required characteristics/functionality.
