Food Microbiology is a key focal point of food safety and a major factor in delivering commercially viable product shelf life. Food Safety work at the NCFM covers both the managerial and the scientific aspects of control. Food Chemistry at NCFM focuses on product formulation to advance the nutritional quality of our food. Related research initiatives include salt and sugar reduction and the increase of dietary fibre, underpinned by food analysis and sensory evaluation.
