Tanya Wüstenberg joined Dow Wolff Cellulosics (now Dow Company) in 2003 and worked as application manager for 10 years. During this period she became passionate about cellulose and cellulose derivatives and their multifunctional properties. She studied food technology at the University of Applied Sciences Fulda (Germany) and obtained her diploma as food engineer 1998. Thereafter, Tanja Wüstenberg worked as development engineer in the food industry for many years and held positions at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) and Sensient Food Ingredients. Furthermore, she headed the European Technical Center at National Starch & Chemical in Hamburg (Germany) for several years. Tanja Wüstenberg is an expert in the application of cellulose ethers and the development of innovative cellulose-based products. She published several brochures on hydrocolloids and a German language cellulose book.
