Next Generation Oat Milk

This collaborative research between Teesside University’s National Horizons Centre and MOMA Foods seeks to enhance the quality and sustainability of oat-based dairy alternatives. Building on a successful Innovate UK-funded Knowledge Transfer Partnership, the project involves a PhD studentship focused on developing a novel on-site monitoring tool to analyse fat and protein content in real-time. By optimising enzyme application and ingredient selection at a molecular level, the research aims to ensure product stability and taste while reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional dairy. This partnership exemplifies the integration of academic bioscience into the burgeoning health food industry.
