Learn how to identify technological solutions for food processing and development. Produce new and innovative products!

This module will showcase new technologies for food production and quality assessment. Students will be given examples of possible technologies with in-depth explanations through case studies on how these technologies are currently used, before looking at some ‘future technologies’ and how a business might look to invest in such early stage technologies at research stage. Examples include Biorefining, Secondary and Tertiary Fermentation and Nutrient Separation, Metabolomics and Hyperspectral Imaging, and Insect Proteins for both Human and Livestock.
