R&D expertise

Ongoing research and development is the lifeblood of our work. DuPont operates multiple research and application laboratories around the globe. And we are the only culture supplier with a dedicated Health and Nutrition Center. This dedication to science has also made us what we are today - the world’s leading supplier of probiotics.

The Probiotic R&D programme is based on three technology pillars:

• Stability – ensuring probiotic viability throughout the shelf life of supplements and nutritionals
• Efficacy – developing condition-specific documentation and formulations over an expanding range of conditions
• Application – expanding the range of delivery vehicles for probiotic-supplemented products

In addition to the work conducted at our Health & Nutrition Center and multiple global R&D sites, we support our development efforts by frequent collaborations with external research institutes and universities.
