Model-it 2008 better equipped for life

Jose Miguel Aguilera, Professor of civil industrial engineering at the Catholic University of Chile, talked about microstructures in food. After a more general introduction into microstructures and food processing showing the increasing opportunities of designing functional microstructures to satisfy the growing demands in the food industry, he took us along into his recent area of interest of gastronomic engineering. In this area he works together with famous chefs to apply scientific principles to achieve provocative sensations in food tasting and with that made everyone’s mouth water.
