Tanjona Rabesolonirina, PhD candidate is currently in the second year of his doctoral research in dairy science. He holds a Master’s degree in Dairy Industry and Quality from ENSAIA (France). His research focuses on adhesion mechanisms between cheese and polymer molds during manufacturing, investigating the influence of dairy constituents and processing parameters, cleaning conditions, and mold material properties. His work combines physico- chemical characterization techniques to study surface properties evolution during cheese production. This work is carried out in collaboration with partners from the dairy and equipment manufacturing sectors, with the aim of improving process efficiency and reducing product losses.
