Our research
AgResearch creates added-value food and bio-based products with optimised nutritional, sensory and performance attributes and much of this is based on our understanding and knowledge of global consumer trends and markets.
We develop non-invasive food and bioproduct evaluation tools using systems biology approaches for predictive control of food and bio-based product properties, from the pasture to the plate.
We are New Zealand leaders in protein and lipid food processing, pastoral agricultural co-products, proteomics of bio-based products and food metabolomics.
We are renown for our research into gut microbiology, nutrition and health of protein foods, companion animal nutrition, fibre science, micro-analysis of keratin materials and protein modification chemistry of bio-based products.
