HBO/WO-stage: R&D Powder Products

Internship: User Experience & Powder Product Properties

Standard

No

The powder-based baby, child, and medical nutritional products developed and produced in Zwolle are used worldwide by vulnerable target groups. Quality and safety are central to this. Due to increasing nutritional density, products are being processed in increasingly concentrated forms, including via spray drying. This places high demands on the solubility and user experience of the end product. During this internship, you will investigate how the concentration and composition of emulsions influence the physical properties and the user experience of powder products.

• Investigating the solubility and other usage characteristics of powder products
• Studying matrix effects between nutritional components
• Applying physical analysis methods and microscopy to visualize product properties
• Developing recommendations to improve the user experience

You will perform targeted experiments with different ingredients and concentrations. In doing so, you will work at lab and pilot scale and use physical and chemical analysis techniques. You will collect data, analyze the results, and present your findings to stakeholders within the organization. The research results will be recorded in a report.

This internship is suitable for HBO and WO students with a background in:

Chemical engineering, food technology, Chemistry, process engineering, HLO, or a similar field of study.

At Abbott, during your internship, you will be guided by the content supervisor of the department where you will be interning. Additionally, you will receive a process supervisor, who will help you manage your internship project via a management tool. We use the DMAIC structure for this, but if your degree program requires a different structure, we can also implement that. By having two supervisors for content and structure, you will learn how to deal with various stakeholders and how project management works, and together we will monitor the progress of your project. Every week you will participate in a student meeting, where all interns come together to help each other, learn from each other, and for the social aspect! In short, you are not alone during your internship at Abbott!
