DIL German Institute of Food Technology is a research institute supported by 175 member companies from the food industry and related fields. The competences and technical abilities of the institute cover the entire spectrum of food technology.

The research platform Structure and Functionality focuses on the implementation of a materials science approach and the creation of new structural designs that offer specific properties for innovative products and processes.

A major advantage of the research platform lies in its potential in terms of equipment and methodology, which enables the investigation of a broad spectrum of physical and physicochemical substance properties. The practical implementation of the research focus is reflected in processes such as extrusion, dynamic and static high-pressure treatment or the application of pulsed electric fields.

Besides working on challenging projects using state-of-the-art technology and as part of a dedicated team, we offer you the opportunity to participate actively in the development of the research platform and to contribute your own scientific ideas.
