Overview

György Kenesei holds degrees in food engineering (MSc), gastronomy (BSc), and economics (BSc). He earned his Ph.D. in food science in 2018 at the Doctoral School of Food Science of Szent István University. His dissertation focused on the application of multiple minimal processing technologies (sous-vide heat treatment / HHP / storage temperature) while his research areas include minimal food processing technologies, post harvest methods, product development, the storage stability of ready-to-eat meals and convenience foods, and the scientific background of culinary technologies. He is the lead scientist in several corporate research collaborations with companies in the institutional catering and ready-meal sectors.
