Specialist Facilities

AFBI possesses excellent facilities in terms of modern scientific laboratories and equipment.
The following are some examples of the facilities AFBI has to offer:
AFBI has a commercial high pressure food vessel which complements other laboratory scale equipment. This enables AFBI to work with other research centres and the food industry in research and development of pressure-treated foods.
Appearance, odour, flavour and texture are extremely important for the enjoyment of foods. The AFBI Sensory Evaluation Unit is used for research, industry and training.
AFBI's ocean-going marine research vessel provides a multi-functional platform for research and monitoring in marine fisheries, oceanography and sea-bed mapping.
