Seeking novel proposals to incorporate pea protein concentrate into low pH beverages

• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

Humans have cultivated and eaten peas (Pisum sativum) for millennia. Modern consumers are looking to the seed as a promising protein source – it is rich in proteins which can be isolated to make pea protein concentrates (PPC). While PPC are available in many forms and products, little or no research has been done to understand its behavior in low pH solution or model systems. As a result, food producers have encountered difficulties incorporating PPC into acidic products, such as fruit juices. The goal of this project is to identify pea protein concentrates that are suitable for usage in low pH systems or to find technologies capable of processing PPC so that they may be used in low pH environments.

• Project Size : 50,000 - 250,000 €

What we are looking for: The disinfectant active Calcium Hypochlorite is highly moisture sensitive and therefore requires a high moisture barrier packaging to safeguard the product’s efficacy over its 3-5 year shelf-life. Package Material Requirement: Heat-sealable, barrier laminate roll stock for converting into sachets. Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) - 0.015 Grams per sq. meter per 24h measured at tropical conditions Tear resistance – TGT-300gram force, LSL-250gram force Seal Strength – TGT-3500grams/inch, 2500grams/inch The ideal proposal would also be: Biodegradable, Home compostable and/or Recyclable Using Responsibly and Ethically sourced raw materials Compliant with regulations in most/all global markets

Seeking proposals for understanding whether a no added sugar, no added fat coating syrup and binder syrup can be developed

• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

PepsiCo is interested in understanding if a no added sugar, no added fat coating syrup and binder syrup can be developed. Sugar alcohols and allulose are not allowed for this project. Organoleptic properties should be as close to control samples as possible (recipe provided) and should be scale-up feasible.

Smart device focused on real-time water management. Applicable both drinking water and industrial and waste waters, monitored parameters include cations (Fe (III), Hg (II), Al (III), etc.), oxidants (Cl, nitrites, peroxide, etc.), biogenic amines, trinitrotoluene, pH, turbidity, conductivity, etc. This developed technology, composed by a series of sensors, small biochips, which experiment a change of colour when contacting the analyte of interest. This change is captured by a digital camera and is sent via Wifi to a database, where it is analysed and registered. It is also possible to issue a report and/or inform clients in real-time.
