Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Philp is a Research Director with 35 years of deep expertise in hydrocolloid and polysaccharide chemistry, leading contract development, product formulation and factory scale-up from a laboratory in Ireland. He founded and runs CyberColloids, providing end-to-end support from pilot extraction and Mw fractionation through rheology, texture and microscopic analysis to full plant design and commissioning. His background includes industrial roles at Unilever/Quest and Courtaulds, giving him rare hands-on experience in carrageenan and cellulose ether development and global factory projects. Kevin pairs PhD-level understanding of alginates with practical skills across HPLC, SEC, homogenisation and freeze-drying, enabling reliable translation of bench science into manufacturable food textures and clean-label solutions. Notably, he tests emulsion stability of powders before spray-drying and uses cross-flow filtration for pilot-scale fractionation, reflecting a pragmatic, cost-conscious approach to scale-up.
