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
German Institute of Food Technologies nanotechnology, information- and communication technology and other areas to be used by food industry especially small and medium enterprises. Result is a unique database for the food processing sector, the Food Technology Innovation Portal (www.foodtech-portal.eu). Further results and network activities are available on the project website. German Institute of Food Technologies The German Institute of Food Technologies (ger. "Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e.V." - DIL) is a non-governmental and self-financing research institute supported by more than 120 members from fields of food production, mechanical engineering, process engineering and metrology. The DIL was founded in 1983 and is situated in the
