Polish food biotechnology science has achieved many successes in past years. Many new technologies have been introduced into food industry and many new products have been offered to consumers. The research related to food biotechnology is concentrated on agricultural universities, technical universities and on branch institutes. Although traditional biotechnology in Poland appears to be well developed, there are many groups working on transgenic plants and animals. In general, only few modifications concern the features important for food applications.
