Nowa technologia produkcji keczupu
Transformacja cyfrowa
“W procesie tworzenia technologii produkcji keczupu o podwyższonych walorach odżywczych Łukasiewicz – Instytut Technologii Eksploatacji wykonał dla nas szereg badań. Na co dzień nie zastanawiamy się, że gdzieś w laboratoriach całe zespoły fizyków i technologów wyznaczają np. zależność lepkości dynamicznej od szybkości ścinania keczupu. Ja w każdym razie przy grillu zawsze ciepło myślę o naukowcach”.
How did Lukasiewicz help?:
- Badał kinetykę zmian właściwości fizykochemicznych nowego produktu w symulowanych warunkach przechowalniczych
- Badał stabilność mikrobiologiczną nowego produktu w symulowanych warunkach przechowalniczych

If you have unanswered questions please send them to: badania@lukasiewicz.gov.pl
R&D, research, and development mean acquiring know-how concerning products, technologies, or processes and carrying out theoretical analyses, systematic studies, or experiments, including experimental production, technical testing of products or processes, providing necessary equipment, and obtaining intellectual property rights for the results of the works.
We are a public institution, and our main objective is to increase the competitiveness of Polish companies. The whole process of servicing companies within the framework of the Łukasiewicz Challenge System is free. We analyze challenges without charging any fees, prepare solution proposals and organize teleconferences with the participation of the clients and authors of the ideas. The terms of cooperation are only negotiated when the entrepreneur concludes a specific contract for implementing R&D work with the selected team of experts.
Entrepreneurs often know how a problem should be solved but need more resources. In this sense, all you need is an idea, which Łukasiewicz’s scientists and engineers will help to implement.
If you need a solution already developed by Łukasiewicz (a ready product), our staff will contact you within few working days with an offer. It is similar in the case of testing and certification. However, if you are looking for support in an R&D project, you wait typically no longer than a month for our proposals. The timing of the R&D project remains an individual issue – we need to know many parameters to specify this. This is what meetings between Łukasiewicz’s experts and the entrepreneur are for.
Nothing pleases us more than the results of joint works. Every solution developed at Łukasiewicz is intended to benefit the client, and this is most easily achieved by working together at the early stages of a project.
