Dairy Technology Research Laboratory

About

In our laboratory;
- Studies on fermentation in milk and dairy products, the factors affecting it and its effects on final product properties
- Studies on process modifications in dairy products and their effects on proteolysis, lipolysis and aroma properties
- Studies on aroma extractions, determination of basic flavors in cheese and aroma structuring
- Studies on new product development with membrane filtration techniques
- Studies on rapid analysis methods and chemometric analysis
is being carried out.
