Scientific and Practical Centre for Foodstuffs offers manufacturers a technology for the production of cationic starches under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or a license agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a research cooperation agreement.

A modern highly efficient technology has been developed for the production of cationic potato and corn starches, cationic soluble starches for technical purposes (active nitrogen content (degree of substitution) - 0.15–0.40% (0.019–0.048 mol/mol) for use in technical purposes.

It can be used in the production of paper and cardboard to increase the retention of fiber and filler, reduce the dusting process, increase the surface strength and tensile strength of paper, fracture resistance, reduce the degree of pollution of recycled water; in the textile industry (for sizing cotton, mixed and synthetic yarn); in the construction industry (in the production of insulating cardboard, soundproof tiles); in the food industry.

In 2020, 4 agreements on scientific and technical cooperation were concluded, including 2 international agreements with a scientific organization of the People's Republic of China, 1 with a research institute of the Russian Federation. In total, there are 70 international agreements on scientific and technical cooperation with scientific organizations and universities in Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Armenia, Sweden, Bulgaria, China. Representatives of foreign organizations take part in seminars and conferences organized by Scientific and Practical Centre for Foodstuffs. In 2020, the organization was visited by over 78 representatives of foreign organizations.

Scientific and Practical Centre for Foodstuffs occupies a leading position in the food industry due to the concentration of scientific research aimed at solving urgent problems in the development of new technologies and equipment, creating a series of new competitive food products for various population groups.

Main tasks in the field of quality:
- formation of fundamentally new methodological foundations for conducting fundamental and applied research aimed at implementing state development programs of the Republic of Belarus in the food industry;
- creation and implementation of new science-intensive and energy-saving technologies (biotechnologies) for deep processing of raw materials of plant and animal origin;
- development of a wide range of food products for functional, preventive and special purposes (including for children) that meet international standards of quality, safety and competitiveness.

The main activities of Scientific and Practical Centre for Foodstuffs:
