Development of a novel control technology for ensuring high quality Powdered Infant Formula (PURE-FORMULA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

"Powdered Infant Formula (PIF) is a milk-like food intended to supplement or replace the milk of the baby's mother. The quality, nutritional profile and safety of PIF are intrinsic for the health and wellbeing of the babies and infants that depend on it for their survival and growth. Since most infant formulae are required to be instant, the preferred drying approach is typically designed to allow ...
