| Mission |
The Top Institute Food and Nutrition (TIFN) is a public/private partnership carrying out strategic fundamental research of commercial relevance. At TIFN, the research is flexibly organized in themes and projects, which are all aimed at the development of innovative products and technologies that respond to consumer demands for safe, tasty and healthy food. Three interrelated programs: 'Nutrition and Health', 'Sensory and Structure', and 'Bio-ingredients and Functionality' have been established in which the research is jointly decided upon and guided by the industry and research partners. Over 51 patents have been filed, and innovative products and knowledge have been introduced. The results achieved and experiences gained underscore the ambition to increase the size and scope of the research portfolio and attract new partners from the food and nutrition industry. |
