Targeting many areas of food production

Digital techniques are expected to drastically change the means, location and logistics of food processing. On-demand production could reduce food waste and personalize food, whereas 3D printing can change the functionality of food through the development of new structures, textures and flavors.

DFPI focuses on 6 propositions:

  • Equipment development

    Equipment development

    Innovative manufacturing technologies for flexible, on-demand and multi-scale food production.

  • Sustainable food solutions

    Sustainable food solutions

    Transforming sustainable plant proteins into food products with desirable texture and taste profiles.

  • Advanced Process Control

    Developing IT tools to accommodate control and design of (sub-)processes by means of a system approach to all information obtained via sensor technology.

  • New product development

    New product development

    3D printing of food products with novel shapes, textures, structures and flavors.

  • Personalized nutrition

    Personalized nutrition

    Personalized food products for health & wellbeing through novel manufacturing technologies.

  • Food experience
