PhD Student Physics and Physical Chemistry of Foods
Wageningen University and Researchcentre Food Physics Group
(Gelderland) , 38 hours per week
Wageningen University and Researchcentre
Job description
The Food Physics group (FPH) and Food Process Engineering group (PRE) of Wageningen University will start a joint project in 2006 on the manufacture of micron-sized encapsulation systems for food and pharmaceutical applications.
The aim of this project is to develop new micron-sized colloidosomes and polymersomes, for encapsulation purposes in functional foods and pharmaceutical applications. For their production, self-assembling proteins, biopolymers, and colloidal particles (with varying size and morphology) will be used. The effect of the interfacial properties (e.g. interfacial tension and interfacial rheology) on the complex mechanical and release properties of these new capsules will be investigated. In collaboration with a second graduate student, new processing devices based on micro technology will be designed, to produce these capsules.
Requirements
Required education/skills: University Graduate
Candidates should hold a MSc degree in either physics, physical chemistry, food engineering, or chemical engineering, and have good writing and communication skills. Candidates with prior experience in characterization of interfaces, biopolymers, or encapsulation technology are preferred. Job type: ENG_Onderzoek/ Advies Workfield(s) :
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers( Scientific discipline: Food)
