Acquire expertise in formulation to renovate existing recipes or develop new products in order to adapt them to consumer expectations and production constraints.
The challenges of food product design
To master the food sciences related to formulation and processes for the improvement and innovation of food products in order to respond to the evolution of current consumption patterns (health products, naturalness,
ready-to-eat products, etc.) while respecting the constraints of large-scale production after validation in the laboratory.
This course will mainly allow students to acquire tools and methods useful for formulation: experimental approach, realization of physicochemical, rheological and sensory analysis of foodstuffs, evaluation of the impact
food processes on their nutritional, taste and technological qualities and evaluation of the functionality of the ingredients used.

In semester 9, you can choose your path according to your desires, by choosing among :
- one of the main majors in the Food Product Design and Analysis track, which delves into this area:
- Responsible Food Marketing (Beauvais campus)
- Bridging Agroressources to Health by innovation (Beauvais campus)
- one or more opening majors, designed to broaden your skills in another area:
- QHSE, CSR, Risk manager (Beauvais campus)
