The DuPont offering in India cuts
across the landscape of food – from
flour-based products to dairy to
nutritional beverages and powders
DuPont Nutrition & Health opened an Innovation Application Center in Gurgaon on 18 March 2015. The multi-million-dollar facility aimed at the Indian food industry will initially employ 15 to 20 people by year-end 2015. DuPont Nutrition & Health also has an existing blending facility for speciality ingredients in Sohna, Haryana.
“According to industry estimates, the food industry in India is growing between 15 and 20% annually. We recognize that while the science of food is global, the taste and flavours of food are local,” said Matthias Heinzel, president of DuPont Nutrition & Health. “As we develop those local solutions, we need to be able to work closely with our local customers on foods they are developing for their consumers. This Innovation Application Center provides that access and a place for us to share our innovation and expertise, to showcase what we can offer and to help our customers save valuable time in developing novel
solutions for the market.”
Brian Jones, regional leader, DuPont Nutrition & Health, South Asia says, “Among the focus areas of the Innovation Application Center will be protective cultures for dahi and yogurt, soy protein products, ice-cream and more nutritious, Indian snacks and biscuits tailored to meet the regional taste and texture expectations” An example is the work ongoing with customers on increasing the shelf-life, convenience and affordability of products in hotter climates where cold chain technology is not available. DuPont is also working closely with Indian companies to develop probiotics for gut and immune health.
