Food Cluster Webinar: Novel feedstock for plant-based analogues of fermented dairy products

Novel feedstock for plant-based analogues of fermented dairy products.

Description: 

The presentation will provide a conceptual framework for the selection of starter cultures for novel food fermentations including the fermentation of plant-based alternatives for dairy products, and provide examples for the performance of starter cultures in plant-based cheese-analogues.

Our Speaker:  Michael Gänzle, Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sci-Ag, Food & Nutri Sci Dept University of Alberta

Bio: Dr. Michael Gänzle is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Food Microbiology and Probiotics (Tier I) at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His research aims to link microbial physiology and ecology to food quality and host health. His research interests include the development of novel technologies for food preservation, aiming to understand mechanisms of bacterial resistance to pathogen intervention technologies, and the characterization of lactic acid bacteria by functional genomics for use as starter cultures or probiotics in traditional and novel food fermentations.
