Centre for Formulation Engineering
We are developing solutions to problems facing the food, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, fast moving consumer goods and speciality products sectors.
Research areas and groups
Bioprocess Engineering
Living cells are used to produce a range of products with large-scale manufacture requiring specialist biotechnological processes.
Food, Nutrition and Microstructure Engineering
Foods should be safe, optimised for health benefits, and enjoyable to prepare and eat. Yet, a number of these criteria are conflicting.
Product Microstructure Engineering
From fast-moving consumer goods to agrochemicals, the performance may be dictated by physicochemical phenomena and structural responses
Particle and Multiphase Process
Formulated liquid products are often multiphase, containing particles, drops or bubbles which critically affect product performance.
