PhD Overview

Traditional fermented dairy products like Rob, produced by spontaneous fermentation, may result in product inconsistency and sometimes failure due to variation in their microbial communities. In this project, we aim to understand the factors that shape the microbial community, the interactions between the microorganisms, and their role in the fermentation process.

Sustainability Goals

  • Good Health and Well-being
