Liaison officers are located in Sydney and Melbourne and assist industry in all States. These staff have knowledge and access to information to provide answers on many industry problems. We welcome enquiries from small and medium sized businesses, as well as large and multi-national organisations. Each of our three sites has a pilot-scale food processing area. Equipment is used by the research groups, and is available to industry for the development of new products, refinement of processes, evaluation of new ingredients, and similar applications.
Facilities are available for the production and maturation of a wide range of cheese varieties.
Freezing requirements are well covered by the BOC Gases Food Centre which is located within our processing area. For example the Division of Human Nutrition has expertise in nutrition, pharmacology, toxicology and epidemiology, while other Divisions work on improvements in plant and animal production, food packaging materials and process automation. If you require information or research relating to aspects of the food industry not covered by our Division, please contact us, and we will provide appropriate details.
