Current focus of our research is on improving and maintaining food and product quality, on contaminant and metabolite analysis, and on developing analytics and diagnostics in networked and intelligent systems to ensure highest product quality and consumer acceptance. We pay special attention to sustainable and resource-saving management as well as to product safety and consumer protection.
Our Research comprises both the projects at the Chair of Aroma and Smell research at FAU, our Sensory Sciences Consortium, together with our strong ties to Fraunhofer IVV with manifold project activities in the field of consumer research and protection, nutrition and health, and sensory sciences. We are a team of associated professors and junior research group leaders jointly creating impact
