Current Research Projects

Research interest

Dr. Doyen's research focuses on the impact of high-pressure hydrostatic processes on the physico-chemical properties of milk protein and peptide matrices with a view to optimizing their fractionation and concentration by baromembrane separation technologies and modifying the protein structure. This research therefore aims to improve food processing performance and energy efficiency. 

Development of a membrane reactor for the recuperation of bioactive fractions. Development of electromembrane technology allowing for the simultaneous enzymatic hydrolysis of alpha-lactoglobulin by trypsin and the fractionation of the anionic and cationic peptides generated.
