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.

Airable Research Lab has formulated a sprayable bio-based balm for agricultural applications such as cow udders, which are exposed to all weather extremes. The product heals damaged or chapped skin. The sprayable formulation allows for contact-free application. Diseases of the udder are typically spread by contact with hands, towels, vectors (bugs), or milking equipment, so this approach minimizes direct contact and lowers the risk of transmitting infectious diseases that may lead to mastitis.

This invention targets cancer by inhibiting SLC25A1, a mitochondrial citrate carrier crucial for cancer stem cell metabolism. Administering 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid disrupts cancer cells' energy pathways, reducing drug resistance and tumor growth without harming normal tissues. It may also have applications in neurodegeneration and aging-related disorders by modulating cellular pathways
