Scientific and Practical Centre for Foodstuffs offers manufacturers the technology for the production of modified starch-containing drilling agent under a commercial agreement with technical assistance or license agreement, and is looking for partners to conclude a research cooperation agreement.

The modified starch-containing drilling agent belongs to high-quality high-viscosity polymeric starch reagents, is effective in the composition of clay-free systems, is stable in a highly mineralized environment and makes it possible to obtain a drilling fluid with good rheological characteristics with stable filtration rates. The use of a drilling agent will ensure the production of various process fluids used in drilling, well repair; in the foundry industry - as a sand stabilizer, in the food industry - as a gelling agent, stabilizer and thickener in the production of mousses, yoghurts, jelly products, ice cream, etc.

The increased relative viscosity of solutions using the reagent with a significant reduction in filtration allows reducing the consumption of the reagent, as well as the consumption of xanthan gum.

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:
- scientific support of technological and technical problems of improvement and reconstruction of enterprises of fruit and vegetable, starch, wine-making, alcohol, alcoholic beverages, beer and non-alcoholic, oil and fat, confectionery, sugar and other food industries in order to increase the competitiveness and quality of food products;
- creation and implementation of new technologies for deep processing of raw materials of animal and vegetable origin for the production of a wide range of food and feed;
- development of technical regulatory legal acts (STB, technical specifications, GOST, Codes of established practice, technical regulations of the Customs Union and amendments to them), technological documents (technological instructions, recipes) of food products, incl. products for functional, preventive, health-improving and special purposes (including for children) that meet international standards of quality, safety and competitiveness;
- development of technical documentation and passports for equipment, manufacturing of experimental and serial technological equipment for the food industry, machines and general-purpose equipment;
- development of technologies for storage and preparation for processing of raw materials of plant and animal origin;
development of new and revision of existing norms for the consumption of raw materials and auxiliary materials for food industry enterprises;
- carrying out certification of food and perfumery-cosmetic products, containers and packaging; assessment of production laboratories for technical competence, metrological support for the production of food industry enterprises;
- development of methods, testing to determine the quality and safety indicators of raw materials and food products, issuance of test reports.
