项目摘要

To provide consumers with ethical plant-based meat products, it isintrinsic that manufacturing processes are sustainable. Widely usedscrew extrusion type processes are energy intensive, and are limitedin terms of fibrous structure generation, lipid inclusions andsustainable plant protein ingredients. Therefore, there is a need todesign alternative, energy efficient processes which provide thenecessary flow and structuring operations to produce such products atindustrial scale and from a wider range of plant biopolymers.Improving our ability to create hierarchical aligned fibre structureswill allow manufacture of products with superior sensory properties(e.g. juiciness, tenderness, flavour).The EngD project will advance the understanding of fibrous structurecreation for the production of meat analogues in a continuousmanner. The aim is to develop a novel, scalable technology for themanufacture of fibrous plant based materials in the presence of allipid phase at different inclusion levels. The EngD candidate isexpected to utilise a set of research tools including computationalfluid dynamics (CFD), microstructure engineering and processrheology. Research into minimising the processing of the bioresourcewhile still delivering the desired product texture will also be carriedout. Ideally, we are looking for a candidate with a first degree inChemical Engineering, or similar as long as they offer a goodfoundation in fluid mechanics and colloid science.

为了为消费者提供道德的植物性肉类产品，制造过程是可持续的。广泛使用的螺丝挤出类型的过程是能量密集型的，并且是纤维结构产生，脂质包含和可维护的植物蛋白成分的有限术语。因此，有必要的卫生替代性，节能的过程，这些过程提供当时的流动和结构操作，以生产这种产品的工业规模和更广泛的植物生物聚合物。提高我们创建层次结构纤维结构的能力，可以使产品的生产能够提供较高的感觉（例如，构造效果），以实现效果（例如，效率）。连续男人的肉类似物。目的是开发一种新型的可扩展技术，用于在不同的包含水平的同胞体相存在的情况下为纤维植物材料制造。 ENGD候选人指望使用一套研究工具，包括计算流动动力学（CFD），微观结构工程和过程Rheology。最小化生物库的处理时，还将进行最小化生物库的处理，同时仍提供所需的产品纹理。理想情况下，我们正在寻找具有一级英寸工程学的候选人，或者只要它们在流体力学和胶体科学方面提供了良好的基础。
