Omschrijving
Over de hele wereld zijn consumenten dol op Belgische chocolade. Hun superieure kwaliteit en de smaak is gebaseerd op de vaardigheden, het vakmanschap en de toewijding van hun producenten. Dit heeft onderzoekers van de Universiteit Gent te verkennen van de wonderen van chocolade wetenschappelijk geïnspireerd. In de afgelopen decennia, ze hebben een wetenschappelijke expertise opgebouwd en een analytische toolbox voor chocolade-onderzoek hebben ontwikkeld. Dit alles heeft geresulteerd in 2012 bij de oprichting van de UGent spin-off Cacaolab bvba, een unieke kleinschalige experimentele chocolade en vullingen productiefaciliteit. Fundamentele kennis gecombineerd met een sterk partnerschap met de industrie, Cacaolab heeft tot doel om innovatieve chocolade producten en processen te creëren en het stimuleren van het exportpotentieel van chocoladeproducenten.
