March 2023 project update
Our Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine funded research project #MetaBoBainne is now in full swing, currently completing week 4 of milk samples collection from a series of farms for NMR analysis and testing milk for functional properties like heat stability and rennet gelation here in School of Food and Nutritional Sciences and School of Chemistry, University College Cork in collaboration with Teagasc. Pictured below is PhD student on the project Paula Rojas Gómez preparing this weeks samples for analysis. Milk samples will continue to be collected weekly for 2023.
