Food Preparation Laboratory
A specialised space supporting nutrition and sports science research. The Food Preparation Laboratory enables the safe formulation and analysis of sports drinks and nutritional supplements.
Students and researchers prepare, test and evaluate products such as sports drinks and dietary supplements, exploring the relationship between nutrition, energy and athletic performance.
Work is carried out under strict hygiene and safety standards, giving learners experience of good laboratory practice and product formulation. The facility supports projects linked to physiology and exercise science teaching.
By taking products from formulation through to evaluation, students develop an understanding of how nutrition supports physical and metabolic performance and how nutritional interventions are assessed in sport and exercise science.
