Section overview
Description
The availability of high quality and safe food for the society is a vital basic need and one of the major challenges for the 21st Century. 9 professorships with about 80 scientists from various disciplines explore and teach at the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the natural sciences and engineering aspects of the transformation of plant and animal ingredients in eatable, high quality food, food supplements, functional effectiveness and recyclables. In cooperation with the Life Science Center, University of Hohenheim and the Center for Nutritional Medicine Tübingen-Hohenheim, the complex interactions between ingredients, processes and functionality in food intensively studied.
