Seeking Oral Care Solutions with Seal and Protect Benefit

• Posted by The Procter & Gamble Company
• ·
• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

Products, technologies or ingredients that (a) provide a layer, barrier or coating which will inhibit the formation of plaque or biofilm on tooth surfaces and/or (b) provide a coating to protect the teeth from stain and erosive acids or deliver effective amounts of oral care ingredient for an extended period of time.

Seeking a next generation material for safe Microwave, Oven and Air Fryer cooking from frozen

• Posted by Nomad Foods

• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

As a global market leader in the frozen food sector, Nomad Foods is seeking advanced material solutions capable of maintaining structural and chemical integrity across an extreme thermal lifecycle: from deep-freeze storage at -18°C to active cooking in microwaves, air fryers, and conventional ovens (up to 220°C). The material must not adversely affect the product in any way: Proposals must demonstrate that the material has zero organoleptic impact, ensuring no migration of taste, odor, or aroma to the food product throughout its lifecycle. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our packaging portfolio, the material must achieve a RecyClass Recyclability Assessment Method (RAM) rating of Grade A or B. This may be accomplished through the use of an appropriate barrier coating or by utilising an existing recyclable substrate. The packaging format remains open, though our preference is to identify solutions that could replace our current flexible plastic cook‑in pouches or trays. The technology we are seeking should be at the functional prototype stage. The proposed packaging format must enable a high-performance "cook-in-pack" solution for our consumers. This technology will facilitate steam-cooking directly within the bag, pouch, or enclosed material, preserving the nutritional integrity of the food. The material must offer high transparency, allowing consumers to see the product, allowing us to showcase our vibrant, high-quality ingredients, emphasizing the premium nature and freshness of the Nomad Foods portfolio.

• Patents for licensing

New method aimed to enhance the overall throughput of communication systems by utilizing delayed channel gain information for distributed interference compression and removal. The technology targets a dynamic environment in which the transmitters, the receivers or even the scattering environment are not static and is useful for a communication scenario with several distributed transmitters and receivers sharing a common medium, in which interference removal is crucial to enhance system throughput and to enable simultaneous transmission of information from several transmitters to several receivers, using the same resources.

New Compounds for Making Chiral Drugs and Molecules

• Innovative Products and Technologies

This invention introduces atropisomeric 1,8-bisphenol naphthalenes and their derivatives, which are designed for enantioselective recognition and asymmetric synthesis. Chiral drugs, which are compounds that exist in two mirror-image forms (enantiomers), account for over half of all medications currently in use. These enantiomers can exhibit significantly different biological activities, making the ability to separate and utilize the active form crucial for effective treatment. The new compounds developed through this invention can resolve enantiomers and facilitate the synthesis of chiral drugs, enhancing their effectiveness and safety. For example, these compounds can be applied in the development of chiral catalysts or sensors, improving the efficiency of chemical reactions that require specific stereochemistry.
