Ingredients are building blocks in formulated products.
The production of ingredients requires interdisciplinary knowledge about the properties, quality and handling of the raw materials, process technology, formulation, quality requirements and applications.
Nofima Ingrediens works on the development and optimisation of processes and products used in foods, functional foods, health foods, pharmaceutical products, feed and technical areas.
The main objective of this research activity is to develop new ingredients and improve existing ones based on cost-effective industrial processes.
The optimisation of processes is implemented on a laboratory and pilot scale.
Relevant issues include choice of separation technology, pilot production and up-scaling.
We carry out quality assessment and application in close collaboration with other research groups at Nofima.
