Food Engineering - TU Dresden

The Chair of Food Engineering (Professur für Lebensmitteltechnik) at the Dresden University of Technology is dedicated to the comprehensive research and development of sustainable food innovations. The focus is on the conversion of agricultural raw materials into high-quality, safe and sustainable food products, with technological issues being addressed at the interface between engineering and natural sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on research into the structural elucidation and functionalization of biomacromolecules and the optimization of food processes. The aim is to make food production more efficient and environmentally friendly through innovative approaches such as upcycling, zero-waste concepts and the integration of modern simulation techniques. The Chair attaches great importance to the promotion of early-career researchers and cooperation with the food industry as well as national and international research partners. With a strong focus on the structure-process-property relationships in food, the Chair makes an important contribution to food security and climate protection.
