Global market trends have been identified for novel food products with added consumer benefit, such as high health, personalised nutrition and wellbeing, food safety, convenience, novelty and environmental responsibility.

Plant & Food Research is working with partners to develop new foods inspired by high quality natural produce to address these issues. New products being investigated include plant cultivars with added health functionality and food ingredients derived from plant or seafood compounds. We also develop methods for maintaining quality and yield from natural produce post harvest.
