Food Materials & Processing Lab

식품소재가공연구실

Welcome to the Food Materials & Processing Lab (FMPL) at Pusan National University!

Our group is dedicated to developing next-generation food materials and processing technologies with the vision of contributing to a sustainable future food system.

At FMPL, we explore the properties and structure-forming mechanisms of food materials, and turn this understanding into practical processing technologies for developing real food products. Our research focuses on key areas of the future food industry, including plant-based meat alternatives, hybrid meat alternatives, microbial-derived alternative fats, and eco-friendly (edible & biodegradable) food packaging materials.

Students, researchers, and industry partners who wish to join FMPL on its journey toward building a sustainable future food system are always welcome to contact us.
