Research and food product development projects in TFTAK
The 21st century biological science and entrepreneurship meet in the Center of Food and Fermentation Technologies (TFTAK).
Science-based bio and food research and product development
TFTAK is an R&D company based on extensive use of modern analytical methods, systems biology and synthetic biology principles, aiming at development and introduction of innovative food and fermentation technologies.
TFTAK has state-of-the-art laboratory and highly qualified personnel. The center deals with research projects of biotechnology as well as food technology. Biotechnology and food technology-based R&D are very closely related in TFTAK via the use of ‘omics’ methods and in-depth knowledge and understanding of molecules and their behavior.
