Nanostructured dairy powder for improved functionality. More than 30 per cent of the total milk produced in Australia is converted to powder for export. This project will lead to improvement in the solubility, and hence shelf-life, of protein rich dairy powders which will be of significant economic benefit to the industry. This project will also benefit the wider scientific community in dairy and food sectors.
Breakthrough technologies for energy-efficient manufacture of dairy powders. The outcomes of this project will form a significant change for the dairy industry in Australia (as represented by Dairy Innovation Australia Ltd.). In particular, the enormous cost-saving and environmental benefits due to a more efficient drying process are attractive for the competitiveness of the industry internationally. The innovation gained is also applicable to food and pharmaceutical industries where spray dryin ....Breakthrough technologies for energy-efficient manufacture of dairy powders. The outcomes of this project will form a significant change for the dairy industry in Australia (as represented by Dairy Innovation Australia Ltd.). In particular, the enormous cost-saving and environmental benefits due to a more efficient drying process are attractive for the competitiveness of the industry internationally. The innovation gained is also applicable to food and pharmaceutical industries where spray drying and fluidised bed drying are integral parts of the manufacturing process. The project will train graduates to be able to make a high-level contribution to these industries.Read moreRead less
