Foods

Using a range of sciences to study food


img

The research conducted at FSAA on food simultaneously focuses on nutrition and its impacts on health and the food sciences. Many challenges must be faced to meet the population's needs regarding the development of new, high quality products and food safety. Thanks to process engineering, combined with the food sciences, researchers are able to resolve and conduct leading-edge research on current technological issues. Their approach is based on the ecoefficient use of technologies that support a sustainable future. Their research is multidisciplinary and requires a knowledge of biochemistry, physical chemistry, chemistry, microbiology, and food engineering as much as a knowledge of the field of nutrition.

  • "I am passionate about diversity and the richness of cheese ecosystems. That’s why I work in this field of research and I am involved in student life at the Fromagerie du Campus, which allows students to produce cheeses in its pilot plant."

    Steve Labrie

  • “I have always been passionate about applied science and processes.” My research has allowed me to develop and even patent brand new, green technologies that facilitate the separation of bioactive molecules (anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-hypertension) and the deacidification of food products (cranberry juice) without using a solvent or adding chemical products.”

    Laurent Bazinet

  • “My passion for process engineering started when I was 6 years old. I told my mother the surprising news that I wanted to become a chemical engineer. Later, working in the scientific world gave me the chance to apply my knowledge in multiple sectors, including food production. Whether optimizing process efficiency, understanding the mechanisms of action in food processing, or developing precise mathematical models, my passion for this rather unexplored field never stops growing.”
