Our research group has developed its professional profile in accordance with the traditions of the current department and its predecessor. In the field of food analysis, we mainly focus on measuring macro- and micro-components, determining nutritional value, investigating food allergens, comprehensive characterization of proteins and carbohydrates. In the field of cereal science, we deal with studying the technological properties of cereals and pseudocereals, product development and quality testing. Our group investigates the role of macromolecules (proteins, starch, dietary fiber components) in nutritional value and technological behaviour. We are also involved in small scale (micro) instrument and method development. We develop our research infrastructure in accordance of the mentioned areas. Within the research group there are modern chromatographic, chemical composition, food allergen, rheological and technological laboratories. We are involved in many national and international basic and applied research collaborations. Our R&D&I activities are carried out in close cooperation with other universities, research institutes, industrial partners and professional organizations.
