Environmental risk assessment and life cycle assessment of raw sugar manufacturing

Life cycle assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts in all stages of a product's life, from raw material through processing, manufacture, distribution and use. This project will design a new LCA to reflect the impact of the raw sugar value chain, to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure the industry's social licence to operate.

Smoke taint

When vineyards and grapes are exposed to smoke it can result in wines that are smoky, burnt, ashy or medicinal, which provoke a negative response in consumers. The main goal of this project is to determine the link between grape compositional and wine sensory data and prepare a stock of experimental wines for future work, from grapes exposed to smoke during the 2019-20 bushfires in south-eastern Australia.
