DuPont Nutrition and Health has inaugurated an Innovation Application Center for the food industry in Gurgaon, a suburb of the capital New Delhi. The facility in Gurgaon will initially employ 20 staff members by the end of this year. The Denmark-based biosciences company will work closely with its regional partners on the development of flavors and ingredients reports Industrysourcing. In addition to the center, DuPont owns a blending facility for specialty ingredients in Sohna, in the neighboring state of 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 flavors of food are local,” said Matthias Heinzel, president of DuPont Nutrition & Health. “Our India Innovation Application Center coupled with the DuPont Innovation Center network leverages a wealth of knowledge, science expertise and experience from all our experts globally,” he added.
