About us
The Université Laval food technology laboratory provides students, researchers and private businesses, such as farmers and local food processors, a wide range of food processing equipment to test various processes (heat, separation, concentration, drying). Lab researchers can use dairy, meat and plant product processing equipment to create new products, purify molecules of interest and test innovative processes which makes it possible to implement sustainable agricultural practices and food processing. The analytical laboratories of the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF), located on the same site, also offer a full range of food and biomolecule analysis services to meet clients’ needs. The presence of expert food researchers allows public and private partners to develop innovative research partnerships.
Support service
A team will guide you in the selection of equipment for rent and planning your tests. In addition, a technician will assist you in your process. Research and development is the main objective of the activities but our lab can also be a plan of production for sale on the market under the conditions of Québec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ).
