About the role
We are looking for a passionate and agile R&D intern to join our Hydrocolloids team. In the Hydrocolloids Team, you will focus on starch functionality and optimization in plant-based cheese matrices. Starch plays a significant role in the texture, stability, and performance of food products.

A comprehensive understanding of chemical compositions, structures, and functional properties of starch is crucial for proper utilization of this important ingredient to develop high-quality products.

The aim of this internship is to map a range of starches at different rheological conditions. You will use the obtained results to link this starch functionality to the plant-based cheese structure, texture and performance. The created starch map could then be used to better navigate product design.

So, what does it take to be successful in this role?

You are a master's student in Food Technology, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or a similar field
You have critical thinking and analytical skills
Preferably, you have prior experience with rheology and/or starches
