Project Title:

Screening of food-grade enzymes for the generation of functional hydrolysates from alternative protein sources.

Abstract:

The project Proteins4Singapore aims to address Singapore's aspiration to utilize protein-rich raw materials from indoor cultivation (soybeans and microalgae) to produce alternative food products.

In this 6-month Master's thesis project, we focus on obtaining protein fractions from soybean and microalgae biomass and the generation of functional peptides. General tools for protein analysis such as SDS-PAGE and photometry will be used for characterization of the protein fractions. Further, the fractions will undergo proteolysis to generate hydrolysates using a selection of food-grad enzymes.

Different reaction conditions will be compared by characterizing the generated peptides and the degree of protein hydrolysis. Promising conditions may be scaled in a bioreactor system. Further, the flavor profiles of the different hydrolysates will be analyzed to evaluate their suitability for the formulation in functional foods.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Laboratory Work and Experimentation:
    • Conduct hands-on experiments related to microalgae processing, protein extraction, and separation techniques.
    • Collaborate with the research team to optimize protocols and methodologies.
    • Assist in developing and refining scalable processes for protein extraction.
    • Investigate factors affecting efficiency, yield, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Data Collection and Analysis:
    • Analyze results using appropriate statistical tools and software.
    • Summarize findings from scientific literature related to microalgae processing and protein extraction.
    • Contribute insights from your research to project reports and your master's thesis.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Presentation of research findings during team meetings.
    • Active participation in discussions with fellow researchers, and project leads.
Requirements and Qualifications:
  • Educational Background:
    • Currently enrolled in a Master's program in fields such as Biotechnology, Bio-/Chemical Engineering, MINT (Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, Technology) or related areas.
    • Possess a Bachelor's degree in relevant fields, including Applied Sciences, Food Science, Biotechnology, Chemistry or related areas.
  • Experience and Attitude:
    • Laboratory experience is beneficial for this position.
    • A strong willingness to learn, contribute, and work independently is equally important.
  • Essential Skills:
    • Attention to Detail: Precise data collection and adherence to protocols.
    • Analytical Thinking: Ability to interpret experimental results and troubleshoot.
    • Teamwork: Collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
Estimated Salary: SGD $5,000 - $6,000 per monthBenefits:
  • A valuable and unique experience, with hands-on research opportunities and deep insights into the subject matter.
  • Our international team and different work structures provide a refreshing and enriching environment that will be appealing.
  • Invaluable experience and the potential to contribute to a publication.
  • Multicultural, vibrant, modern and positive working environment in Singapore.
  • Campus-sited office location with a host of facilities.
  • In-building perks including gym, game room and coffee room.
