Intern Ingredient Interactions in Powdered Infant Formula Products

2 dagen geleden


Wageningen, Nederland FrieslandCampina Voltijd

Would you like to contribute to the development of high-quality infant formula products for the brand Friso? Are you curious about understanding ingredient interactions and how these interactions impact the final product properties? Then we are looking for you

The R&D department of Specialized Nutrition in Wageningen is developing new and improved products and processes for infants and toddlers for the Greater China market. For this vulnerable group, nutritious products with premium quality are critical. Premium quality for our consumers includes the ease of dissolving the infant formula powder and its stability during processing and shelf life. This will be the focus of this internship.

In this internship we will focus on understanding and optimizing the ingredient interactions in the concentrated wet phase before spray drying. These interactions impact spray drying and, subsequently, the solubility of the final infant formula powder.

You will start this internship by collecting internal/external information about what is known so far. After preparing a research proposal, you will perform lab trials and analyses on the prepared samples. You interpret and present results regularly to the relevant stakeholders and will write a final report at the end of your internship.
- This is a 6 month internship with a preferable starting date in February/March 2025.

Wat we vragen

To be successful in this position, you have/ are:

- Final year of relevant MSc/BSc study, e.g., Food Technology, with good foundation of food technology and food ingredients, and basic knowledge of dairy technology and processes;
- Skillful communicator within R&D and towards colleagues, in English language, both oral and written;
- Independent in project planning and organizational skills;
- Pragmatic, proactive, hands-on mentality, flexible and creative;
- Ambition to pursue a future career in product development.
