COOPERATION WITH INDUSTRY

Designing physical and health properties

  • Analysis of the composition and design of physicochemical properties of dairy products.
  • Increasing the health value of dairy products through the use of bioactive ingredients.
  • Designing conditions for the production of dairy products.
  • Modifications to the composition of powdered milk-based mixtures.
  • Microscopic imaging of food matrix, topography of food structure, visualization of macromolecules in milk and dairy products.
  • Freeze-drying, microwave-vacuum, hybrid, evaluation of the retention of bioactive properties of food during drying.
  • Determination of kinetics, energy consumption and optimal conditions for convective drying of food products.

Durability tests

  • Assessment of the extent of changes in texture and consistency of dairy products subjected to storage.
  • Study of syneresis of yoghurts and leakage in cheeses during storage.
  • Analysis of water activity and mobility in food.
  • Study of changes in technological and microbiological quality.
  • Creating forecasting tools for optimizing the course of technological processes and predicting microbiological and technological quality using mathematical methods and artificial intelligence (artificial neural networks).

Innovative productsInnovative products

  • Pilot production of dairy products on a micro and semi-technical scale.
  • Obtaining innovative products from milk and other non-dairy raw materials.
  • Development of new recipes.
  • Development of methods for rapid monitoring of the quality of food products in the production process.

Sensory analysis and consumer testing

  • Marketing research and consumer testing, analysis of consumer perception and expectations.
  • Analysis of the attractiveness of new markets and directions of development of dairy products.
  • Profile sensory evaluation based on the selection and selection of descriptors that identify the product and the assessment of their intensity.
  • Study of the emotional profile of consumers based on positive and negative emotions in the consumer when purchasing and consuming a product.
  • Consumers' assessment of the overall desirability of the product.
