29 Sep 2017 --- Food technology company KaTech Katharina Hahn + Partner GmbH has awarded the “KaTe” prize for pioneering food research for the very first time. Dr. Ing. Ulrike Sabine van der Schaaf from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) received the prize for her work on the emulsifying and emulsion stabilizing properties of citrus pectin. This hydrocolloid, which comes from renewable resources, can increase the availability of natural, plant-based emulsifiers for food products in the future.
