The Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Functional Grains (The Functional Grains ITTC) will transform the Australian Grains Industry from a commodity-based industry into a highly efficient industry producing high quality food and feed products that exceed market expectations.
Working together
The Centre is supported by the Australian Government, through a $2.15 million ARC grant. The Centre is also supported by industry partners:

Meet Kenneth Chinkwo
Dr Kenneth Chinkwo's research investigates the anti-cancer activity, antioxidant of bioactive compounds derived from cereals and pulses. He is also evaluating the health benefits of dietary polyphenols in haemostasis and platelet function.
Our cookbook
We hope that with this cookbook, we can identify international consumer preferences, play a key role in helping to improve future grain storage, enhance human health with the recipes and drinks, improve food end-product quality, identify novel bioactive compounds, train the next generation of food scientists, and build long term collaborative food innovation systems.
