Structure and Functionality
The main goal of the central research field is the creation of innovative approaches and solutions which can be turned into appealing products for the food industry. We commit ourselves to the determination of scientific findings which are not necessarily dependent on industrial contracts.

“Research for me means: starting with amazement...”
In food production, the matrix is structurized, stabilized or converted by processes which are often derived from the technological expertise of the respective food field. Thus, the development trends are limited to the optimization of existing processes. Genuine innovation requires a multidisciplinary approach, free from thinking in product categories, which focuses on the interaction of process, structure and function.
