Intern Nutritional Lipids In Food Applications

Within FrieslandCampina Ingredients Nutritional Lipids, we encapsulate oils into nutritional lipids powders which are used in applications such as infant formula, drinks, yogurts, food supplements etc. Many of these nutritional lipids contain high levels of long chain poly unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). These lipids are prone to oxidation, causing sensory defects such as off-flavor and off-taste. In this internship, you will work on the application of these sensitive nutritional lipids in yogurt. Characterizing technical properties (e.g., heat and acid stability) of these encapsulated LC-PUFA oils is also part of the assignment.
The aim is to generate more knowledge on the possibilities and limitations of using nutritional lipids with good sensory properties in final products.
