Claire joins Micro-COSMOS !

An agri-food engineer, graduated from ENSAIA in Nancy, Claire chose a specialty in R&D / food formulation. She has always enjoyed understanding the physicochemical transformations within food matrices and is interested in the functionality of ingredients in particular.

Claire joins the GEPEA research unit in Nantes, as a PhD student and will work on the use of bread powders in the recipe of bakery products. The aim of the thesis will be to better understand the impact of these powders on the formation of acrylamide, the coupling with the expansion of the products, their physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics. The objective will also be to formulate recommendations to stakeholders in order to optimize these different characteristics.

Claire is highly motivated by this contribution of recycling to the management of food losses and surplus, and was particularly attracted by the global vision offered by the project and the different disciplines present in the consortium. For her, it’s a “meaningful” research project!
