 | Seeking Next-Generation Equipment and Processing Technologies for Tempura Batter-Coated Fish Products |
|
Nomad Foods is seeking innovative equipment, processing technologies, or integrated solutions that enable the development of next-generation tempura batter-coated fish products. By “conventional” battering and coating systems, we mean standard waterfall/curtain batter application combined with static frying or baking, which limits coating uniformity, consistency, and yield at scale. We are looking for solutions that demonstrably improve on this baseline by delivering: a more even and well-adhered batter coating across irregular fish portions, reduced batter loss/waste during application, and greater batch-to-batch consistency of coating weight and texture. We expect proposals exclusively from commercial technology providers — equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, technology start-ups, and system integrators with deployable or near-deployable solutions. Academic institutions or research groups without a commercial product, prototype, or industrial partner are not the focus of this call. By “improve robustness” we mean equipment and processes that maintain consistent coating performance despite normal variability in raw material (fish portion size and shape), batter viscosity, and line speed, with minimal downtime or operator intervention. By “flexibility for integration” we mean compatibility with our existing battering/coating and freezing lines: solutions that can be retrofitted or integrated without requiring a full line replacement, and that can accommodate multiple product formats (fillets, portions, nuggets) on the same equipment. |
| | Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage |
|
As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint. |
 | Seeking Biomanufacturing of Transformational Ingredients in Consumer-Packaged Goods |
|
We are looking for approaches to engineer and optimize organisms (microbial and plant) for production and/or purification of relevant biomolecules in a non-trial-and-error format. It is believed that starting from a waste stream will be a more cost-effective solution. We are also interested in plant- or algae-based solutions that are scalable and cost effective. What We Are Looking For: • Strain engineering approaches that achieve target molecule production targets across multiple molecule classes in significantly less time versus the industry average • Host engineering capabilities in non-model systems • Scale up platforms/methods that are amenable to commodity scale ingredients • Downstream processing methods/technologies that facilitate continuous extraction and/or re-use of extractive reagents • Approaches that leverage feedstocks separate from the food chain |
 | Novel solar photothermal system for seawater desalination and superheated steam generation |
|
The conversion of light-to-heat for steam production is an emerging technology that can be used for several purposes such as seawater desalination, sterilization, hydrogen production and electricity generation. The performance of solar photothermal steam generation (SSG) depends basically on the generation of localized heat on the surface of photothermal materials that can intensify the yield of heated steam under plausible solar intensity. The present invention provides a novel protocol for the generation of superheated steam under low solar intensity by designing a simple and low-cost photothermal system. It is composed of hydrophilic water supply cellulose fibre tube with head coated with innovative clay modified activated carbon/CuO. Black materials are commonly used as photothermal. This special SSG configuration shows outstanding superheated steam which reaches up to 160.9°C under half sun, which has never been reported in non-pressurized mode. |
 | Precursors of linear polyacenes: entry door to new semi-conductor materials |
|
A new strategy for the preparation of precursors of linear acenes has been developed. The developed acene precursors are hydrogenated acenes and are stable upon storage. They can be prepared in several synthetic steps using two catalytic key preparation steps. The precursors can be deposited onto surfaces and submitted to annealing to generate the linear acene. This strategy afforded the first-ever preparation of undecacene. |
 | Nitrate ions removal from water |
|
The invention describes a method for synthesizing a bifunctional copolymer designed for the detection and removal of specific anions, such as nitrates, in drinking water. This material can be easily regenerated, allowing for repeated use over time and resulting in cost savings. Additionally, the copolymer synthesis does not require polymers or organic solvents, making the process more eco-friendly and efficient. Its effectiveness in purification process is visible to the user through a visual signal, such as a color change, which facilitates monitoring of the filtering material, ensuring timely maintenance or replacement. |
