Joseph Kang
The Science of wine
Not every degree gives students the chance to work with wine but that’s exactly what Joseph Kang found himself doing for his Master of Applied Science in Food Science. During his research year Joseph worked on developing novel wine flavours using toasted wood variants - instead of traditional oak barrels - and assessing their market potential.
Now Joseph is working as a brewing analyst for Lion Nathan in Brisbane, which involves tracking and checking the quality of the brewing process as well as looking out for opportunities to cut waste.
It’s not all about wine and beer though. Joseph has also worked with AsureQuality as a laboratory technician, carrying out chemical analyses of dairy products.
“It’s the variety of opportunity that makes food science such an interesting study and career choice. Food science plays a major role in making better food and better beverage products. It covers many different fields such as new product development, food safety and manufacturing. There is so much to explore in this ever-changing industry, and AUT offered the right course so we were prepared and ready for the industry.”
