The agreement will focus on areas such as nutrition, packaging, data analytics and also biotransformation (the use of natural processes, such as fermentation, to transform raw materials into ingredients with nutritional or functional benefits).
“We are delighted to sign this research agreement with A*STAR,” said Nestlé’s chief technology officer, Stefan Catsicas. “It provides the framework for future collaboration that will help to strengthen our food science and technology capabilities in Singapore and beyond.
“Our goal is that closer collaboration with A*STAR will enable our team of food technologists, food engineers, chemists and microbiologists to share their knowledge and understanding in multiple areas of food science, and to strengthen Nestlé’s position as a global leader in food science, nutrition and technology.”
