Plant-based foods

Alternatives to animal proteins in our nutrition are crucial for successfully transitioning food value chains toward sustainability. The transition requires a holistic understanding of material flow and linked environmental, social, and economic impacts. Our core competencies are in protein techno-functionality detection, process, and equipment engineering. We aim to develop technologies for manufacturing appealing alternatives to dairy and meat products based on different crops, microalgae, and food industry side streams. Life cycle assessments and consumer sciences trigger our solutions for multi-factorial optimization.
