MPhil Nutritional Sciences in Sutton Bonington United Kingdom | University of Nottingham

The school's nutritional sciences research team focuses on advancing the scientific knowledge and enhancement of dietary practices for humans and animals alike.

Key research domains encompass:

regulating and optimizing the nutritional value and processing characteristics of animal and plant-based foods, including the consistency of meat and fruit products
boosting fat and protein levels in livestock through nutritional means
managing livestock growth, particularly focusing on nutrient-gene relationships and balancing energy and nitrogen availability
assessing animal feed nutrition, such as how dietary tannins influence parasite resistance
developmental programming and wellbeing
human dietary-health connections, including how nutrients interact with genes
how specific food components (like proteins, fatty acids, antioxidants, and micronutrients) impact health and disease mechanisms
understanding the molecular foundations of nutrient signaling
large-scale human nutrition and dietetics research
food composition analysis and verification (evaluating micronutrients, basic nutritional components, and bioactive food elements)
