What is Nutritech?

NUTRITECH is an innovation programme aiming at health & well-being through eating.

BACKGROUND: food marketplace is facing new challenges in delivering solutions of well-being and health maintenance to consumers. Governments also are increasingly intensifying preventive measures to health maintenance, and dietary strategies are one of the major tools.

WE AIM to deliver technologies and expertise to create new products and services for the promotion of consumer well-being through improved nutrition.

WE PLAN to combine our multidisciplinary skills in attempts to tackle challenges of overweight, metabolic syndrome and chronic diseases as well as the ageing population. This should be achieved while retaining the joy of eating and feeling good and delivering products which provide added value for the modern consumer.

Examples of potential outcomes of the new technologies include:

  • Healthy foods of excellent palatability
  • Foods offering health benefits for certain risk groups
  • Intelligent packages
  • Diagnostics for monitoring nutritional status
  • Interactive multimedia nutrition communication means
  • Personalized dietary services
