The Center of Excellence Food Technology and Nutrition (CoE LTE) focuses on bioactive compounds and the formulation of functional food and feed products. Therefore, various in vitro and in vivo test systems are implemented to unravel the mode of action of the compounds on a molecular and cellular level. Another topic is food quality control through various measuring procedures. In addition to basic research, we stand together with innovative partners from industry for the development of functional foods, phytogenic feed additives and highly effective natural pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals.
