German Institute of Food Technologies The division has its own research projects planned for 2013. The quality of food is determined by their structure. Therefore, an optimization of food structures leads an improvement of long-term quality of food. Based on test on structure generation and the interdependency with the quality of food the DIL tries to increase the shelf-life of products. When the Bio-Economy division was founded in 2012, it was accompanied by an extensive realignment and expansion of the research platforms. As a result, meat technology was removed from the Process Technology business division, the biotechnology focus was placed on enzyme and raw material
Slowly varying function if for all , . A function for which the limit is finite but nonzero for every , is called a "regularly varying function". These definitions are due to Jovan Karamata. Regularly varying functions have some important properties: a partial list of them is reported below. More extensive analyses of the properties characterizing regular variation are presented in the monograph by . . The limit in and is uniform if is restricted to a compact interval. . Every regularly varying function is of the form where Note. This implies that the function in has necessarily to be of the following
