Lutz Grossmann is an Assistant Professor at the Food Science Department at UMass Amherst since 2021. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in food science and graduated with a Ph.D. on single cell proteins from the University of Hohenheim in Germany. Professor Grossmann’s group, Sustainable Food Materials, focuses on maintaining and improving the quality characteristics of food ingredients with increased sustainability. They envision that everyone enjoys eating healthy and sustainable foods – eating is happiness in viscoelastic structures! At the moment, they are mainly working with proteins from plant and microbial sources.
