Master Project, Science of Milk Foams for Barista Excellence - Arla Innovation Centre Arhus

Location: Aarhus N, DK

MSc for the SKUMBAR Project: Unleash the Science of Milk Foams for Barista Excellence!

Are you passionate about food science and eager to explore the cutting-edge of milk functionality for barista applications? Do you want to work closely with industry professionals and apply your skills in real world settings? If so, the SKUMBAR project is the perfect opportunity for you.

Project Overview:
The SKUMBAR (Scientific Key Understanding of Milk for Barista and Aerated Recipes) project is an innovative research initiative that aims to link milk composition, foam functionality, and barista quality. As a student, you'll delve into the physical processes and molecular interactions that transform milk into high quality barista coffee with creamy foam.

Transforming milk to high quality barista coffee with a creamy foam involves a range of physical processes, molecular interactions and most importantly generation of an air-in-water emulsion. This drives an increased scientific focus on detailed characterization of dairy foam functionality and utilization of specialized methods.

Extent and type of project; 45 or 60 ECTS - MSc project

Main subject area; Food chemistry and physics

What You'll Do:

• Utilize advanced analytical techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, mass

• spectrometry (MS), rheology, and foam quantification to characterize milk foam structure and
• stability.

• Apply application testing to connect analytical data with consumer experiences.
• Conduct research at both the Arla Innovation Centre and the Department of Food Science,

• benefiting from the diverse techniques and expertise at these locations.

• Engage with the Arla Pro team, gaining insights into delivering high-performing barista products to professionals worldwide.

Who We Are Looking For:
We are seeking a student with a background in food science, molecular biology, or related fields. Experience as a barista, whether professionally or at home, is a plus. If you're interested in the forefront of food science and eager for a collaborative dialogue with professionals, this project is for you!
