About
We aim to develop next-generation gut-health beverage products designed to support microbiome balance through natural ingredients, functional compounds and innovative processing technologies. The project will explore scientific formulation strategies, clean-label preservation, bioactive stability and digestive bioavailability.
DİMES offers strong industrial R&D capacity in fruit-based, dairy-based and plant-based beverages, equipped with pilot-scale processing, advanced analytical capabilities and LCA/energy–exergy assessment tools.
We seek academic and industrial partners with expertise in:
• Microbiome health and gut-related nutrition
• Functional ingredient development (prebiotics, postbiotics, polyphenols, fibres)
• Natural antimicrobial and clean-label preservation
• Metabolomic / microbiome analysis
• Digital modelling, AI-supported formulation, and data-driven health insights
• Clinical validation or consumer-health research
The objective is to co-create scientifically validated, scalable and sustainable gut-health beverage solutions aligned with Horizon Europe Cluster 6 priorities.
