Lactosan

At LACTOSAN’s Innovation & Development, we believe that developing talent is part of the innovation process. That’s why we open our doors to students with scientific curiosity and a desire to learn by doing — truly hands-on.

When that happens, the team grows: in ideas, in energy, and in shared knowledge.

During her internship, María Belén Hernández worked on incorporating Powdered Cheese into pet food, exploring its role in formulations, its behavior during processing, and conducting sensory tests with dogs and cats. Belén completed her internship in January 2026, leaving us with very valuable learnings.

Today, we continue along this same path with Malena Horta, who is analyzing the impact of adding Powdered Cheese to semi-sweet biscuits, combining experimentation, evaluation, and continuous improvement:

“ I discovered that the ingredient not only adds flavor — it also influences the system.”
— Malena

Beyond the technical work, we especially value the team environment: professional discussions, support, and real collaboration from day one.

If you are currently studying and are interested in an internship with applied projects in innovation and development, we would love to hear from you
