PhD Global Excellence and Mobility Scholarship (GEMS 2027). Development of Palm-Kernel Milk as Therapeutic Foods: Macro-Micro Nutrient Interplay, Organoleptic Performance and Shelf Stability

About the project

About the Project Development of Palm-Kernel Milk as Therapeutic Foods: Macro-Micro Nutrient Interplay, Organoleptic Performance and Shelf Stability Therapeutic food relies on a precise composition of macro- and micronutrients. The interplay between these components is critical to ensure efficient nutrient delivery, high palatability, and robust shelf stability that satisfies the precise clinical needs of malnourished individuals. This research project addresses three primary objectives: Designing therapeutic food system (liquid and paste) tailored to precise caloric, macronutrient, and micronutrient requirements of malnourished individuals (Year 1) Investigating the in vitro bioavailability, bioaccessibility, and shelf-life stability of the developed formulations. (Year 2) Market feasibility and the strategic implementation of the therapeutic food (Year 3) For enquiries, please contact Dr Lee Yee Ying For more information about this project, please visit our GEMS website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to Apply When you apply for admission into your preferred degree program you will be able to select your scholarship type.
