"The awarding of the prize to Prof. Kohlus by the companies of the dairy industry association is intended to honor his outstanding scientific achievements. Thanks to his practical thinking and hands-on research, the dairy industry owes Prof. Kohlus important research impulses and developments," says Dr. Angela Kohl, Managing Director of the Milchindustrie-Verband.

The prize, endowed with EUR 10,000, recognizes innovative dairy-specific achievements in the various scientific fields related to milk and can be awarded annually to individuals who have made a significant contribution to dairy-specific research and science. The decisive factor is the particular practical relevance to milk and thus the significance for dairy practice and dairy science.

Prof. Dr. Reinhard Kohlus is Professor of Food Process Engineering and Powder Technology at the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology at the University of Hohenheim, where he heads the relevant department. He is an important driving force in dairy science in Germany, who has developed important new findings and made them practical for the dairy industry. In particular, his work on drying, spray drying, agglomeration and the diverse properties of powders is of great value to the dairy industry and has direct practical implications. He has worked on several projects with the Dairy Industry Association and has also carried out application-oriented research in other, sometimes international, collaborations in the field of food process engineering. His projects are always characterized by an interdisciplinary approach. In this way, Prof. Kohlus contributes to practically relevant progress in dairy science research and supports the dairy research location significantly and sustainably.
