Food science for healthy living !!!...

Our research laboratory specializes in the physical and chemical properties of edible fats and oils. By building scientific knowledge of edible fats and oils we can develop new food materials and processes that will lead to food products with superior nutritional and physiochemical properties. Our research facilities also include one the leading Sensory Evaluation facilities in the United States.
