Arbeitsgruppe Fermentierte und FunktionelleGetränke FFG
Workgroup Fermented and Functional Beverages
The workgroup FFG comprises the field of research on fermented and functional beverages and services in product development. The emphasis is placed on
innovative products and ingredients. The team is experienced in product developments (liquid and instant). This comprises the investigation on ingredients,
stability tests, formulations, technology, analyses, the production of a small batch and the transfer to industrial production with partner companies. Another
specialty is the investigation on traditional fermented beverages and the transfer into industrial scale.

http://www.fofind-project.com/ FOFIND will develop new affordable daily consumed functionalfood (biscuits, breads and juices) and nutritional supplements,using innovative low cost functional ingredients derived frommilk and potato fibre. These new products will be directed tothe general population with specific nutritional needs thatcontrol the symptoms of hypertension, hypercholesterol,osteoporosis, anemia, and digestive problems. The mainresults of FOFIND will be among others (1) Functionalingredients derived from milk by-products incorporated inbeverages with demonstrated activity (Lowpept plusphytosterols, CPPs plus calcium, iron and selenium salts,);FOFIND project will support SMEs breaking through thesebarriers, by means of the development of new added-valuefunctional food and nutritional supplements to beimplemented in a short term, which will allow SMEs toincrease their competitiveness and will lead them to achievenew market niches and new consumer profiles. FOFIND willdevelop new functional ingredients and food aimed to improvethe most prevalent nutritional needs in EU, providing addedvalue to the final products and, ultimately, increasing thereturn of investment of food producer SMEs.

Kefir Ethanol concentration dependency on fermentation time
and temperaure (exemplary 2000 mL scale)
Sugary Kefir (water kefir) is a beverage fermented with nature born kefir granula consisting of a large range of microorganism. In the project flora is characterized and importent biochemical and physiolocalinteractions among the organism are investigated (TUM). The part in Lemgo deals with the development of an industrial scale process and the control of the process in order to obtain defined sensory and analytical properties in the product.
