Dr. Anne-Laure Koliandris

-Product Development Scientist -European R&D leader of the Cesar® brand - Project management and technical leadership of innovation projects in close collaboration with marketing, finance, commercial… -Project scoping, recipe and process development at pilot scale and implementation in factory - Integrated approach to combine pet nutrition & well-being, customer’s driven product attributes, technical feasibility, legal compliance and cost optimization

- PhD project entitled flow behaviour of biopolymer solutions and effect on saltiness perception. - I developed extensive knowledge of rheology techniques as well as sensory analysis techniques.

- Master project on the phase separation behaviour of biopolymers mixtures

- Research project on the influence of the variety, the system of culture and the harvest date on the quality of strawberries - I used a variety of techniques (GC, HPLC, texture analysis, sensory analysis…) and apprehended the difficulty to work with highly variable natural products

- I built physico-chemical models to explain the flavour release from alcoholic beverages and programmed them to fit with experimental data - I extended my knowledge of programming and learnt about flavour compounds and their quantification by APCI-MS.

- Summer placement during which I improved the management of the flavouring stock and organised the technology watch - Working in relation with other departments of the company, I apprehended the difficulties of extrapolation between R&D and production

- PhD project entitled flow behaviour of biopolymer solutions and effect on saltiness perception.

- Engineer studies in food sciences in France's leading post-graduate school for biosciences. Equivalent to a master degree. - Modules including physic and chemical characterization of food products, advanced statistics, sensory analysis, food processing and economy
