This represents a possible research degree field, pending University approval. Prospective students interested in pursuing research in this discipline should consult with the Dean to review their proposal.

The UK/Scottish economy relies heavily on the food and beverage sector, where Abertay's research in the Division of Engineering and Food Science leads in advancing food innovation and sustainable practices.

Ongoing investigations explore diverse food science and technology subjects, such as: assessing innovative yeast strains for whisky production, utilizing legumes as eco-friendly food ingredients, alternative food preservation techniques, ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds, Maillard reaction byproducts, food antioxidants, vaping emissions, electromyography-based sensory analysis, and chemical changes during spirit aging in oak barrels.

Division specialists also examine human nutrition and public health matters, influencing Scottish Government policies regarding regional dietary concerns.

Our team maintains strong partnerships with industry leaders and research organizations, supported by cutting-edge laboratory equipment, pilot-scale production capabilities, and advanced sensory testing facilities for evaluating new food and beverage innovations.
