CSIR-CFTRI introduces three new food technologies for healthier choices

CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) has released three new technologies as part of its ‘One Week One Lab’ (OWOL) campaign. The institute, which has developed a total of 20 new technologies, aims to release all of them during the campaign. The technologies released include spiced bread with anti-inflammatory properties, gluten-free cake mix, and fibre-enriched rusk. CFTRI highlights the importance of improving the functionality of wheat-based food products to combat lifestyle disorders. The institute emphasises the use of functional ingredients from natural sources to enhance the health benefits of bakery products and combat immune-related diseases.

The release of these technologies contributes to promoting healthier and more convenient food options.
