The site’s bakery lab will feature equipment for making various breads and rolls, steamed cakes and doughnuts.

DuPont Nutrition & Health will open a new innovation site in Japan later this summer to serve customers primarily in the bakery, beverage and dairy industries.

Located in the Kanagawa Prefecture, the 700-square-metre facility will provide solutions for the company’s Japan- and Korea-based clients.

The site’s bakery lab will feature equipment for making various breads and rolls, steamed cakes and doughnuts. Meanwhile, the dairy area presents the capability to make various types of yogurts, fermented drinks, beverages and ice creams.

In the micro-testing lab, stability tests can be conducted on the enumeration of probiotics with prototypes of customers’ products formulated with strains from DuPont Danisco. In the dry blend lab, customised system blends can be created with a granulator, compressed tablet machine and revolving pan.

According to DuPont, the facility will allow customers to work directly with its scientists to develop solutions using its product range of customised system blends and dietary supplements to meet the changing needs of their local markets.
