TECHNOLOGY · RESEARCH · PRACTICE

I want to understand how your product works.

I am Natalia Horbach, a food technologist, researcher and lecturer based in Poland. I earned my PhD in Chemistry at Wrocław University of Science and Technology, where I defended my doctoral thesis with distinction.

I enjoy investigating complex problems, working with a team and developing new products. I want to understand the whole process: raw materials, formulation, equipment, safety and how the technology will work at your facility.

For me, science has a practical purpose: helping find solutions for real production.

Scientific foundation

MSc in Food Technology. PhD in Chemistry from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, awarded with distinction. Co-author of scientific publications.

More about my education

I have completed further studies in dietetics and nutrition planning, as well as psychodietetics. I continue to study plant-based raw materials, functional foods and cosmetic dietetics.

My areas of work

  • Food technology and new product development
  • Chemistry and biochemistry
  • Food microbiology
  • Food safety and HACCP

Teaching

I teach at WSB Merito Universities in Wrocław and Poznań, delivering lectures and laboratory classes in chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and food technology.

My experience also includes laboratory teaching at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. When working with teams, I explain how to apply this knowledge in practice.

I am originally from Odesa, where I studied food technology. Today I work in Poland and support businesses from Ukraine.

What else interests me as a researcher

I am interested in ideas that could become a new product or a joint research project.

Herbs and plant-based raw materials

The properties of plant ingredients and their potential use in food and cosmetic products.

Functional foods and dietary supplements

Composition, raw material quality and the scientific basis for a concept. I enjoy discussing new ideas and identifying what needs to be investigated.

Cosmetology and cosmetic dietetics

Plant ingredients, cosmetic products and the relationship between nutrition and skin condition are areas in which I continue to develop my knowledge.

Ready to work with you at your production site.

We can start with an online conversation. When needed, I can visit your facility in Poland to review the processes, premises or a new product with your team and agree on the next steps. We agree the scope, travel arrangements and price in advance.
