Propositions
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
Innovative manufacturing technologies for flexible, on-demand and multi-scale food production.
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
3D printing of food products with novel shapes, textures, structures and flavors.
Personalized nutrition
Personalized food products for health & wellbeing through novel manufacturing technologies.
Food experience
3D printed food for new social experience and consumer interaction.
