New Swedish biotech lab paves way for Tetra Pak’s future capabilities
Tetra Pak has established a biotech lab at Lund University in southern Sweden to enhance knowledge and create new collaboration opportunities on the processing of new foods. A team of Tetra Pak’s senior microbiology and biotechnology experts are based at the lab to manage various biotech trials.
“Our biotech lab will help us to better understand the behaviour of different types of microbes for food production under certain circumstances, such as what happens when we increase or decrease oxygen levels or change carbon source in the bioreactors,” said Lena de Maré, Core and Novel Food Technology Manager at Tetra Pak. “Besides being a hub for knowledge building and future troubleshooting in fermentation and processing new types of food ingredients, the lab at Lund University will enable us to collaborate and share knowledge in the innovative food biotech sector.”
Lund University is a leading global centre for food technology with state-of-the-art infrastructure, capabilities and expertise. The biotech lab is an important step on Tetra Pak’s journey to develop world-leading capabilities in food biotechnology.
