Dairy Science and Technology Research Group

The Dairy Science and Technology Research Group aims to analyze topics related to the chemistry, transformation, and processing of milk and its components. To this end, we develop internally and externally funded projects, with an emphasis on engagement with society and industry. Our approach is applied, seeking that the outcomes of our research directly correspond to the knowledge and/or technology transfer needs at both national and international levels.
