Seeking Innovative Sustainable Biopolymers and Biorenewable Building BlocksSynthetic polymers are often used as thickening agents for liquid formulations. Already small quantities (< 1%) enable the formation of a gel network, which is most important for the correct application of the product. However, due to their persistence the reputation of synthetic polymers has deteriorated during the last years, which has increased the demand for natural alternatives. Despite the huge interest of the industry in green alternatives, successful candidates are a rarity, due to numerous technical and commercial hurdles. It is therefore most important to find partnerships with universities, start-ups, or well-established companies, which may lead to the development of new sustainable polymers for industrial and consumer applications.

Seeking Innovative tea brewing equipment for food outletsWe are working with a beverage company supplying the global retail and foodservice markets with a variety of non-alcoholic, branded beverages and dispensing equipment. Specifically for tea beverages (both prepared for hot and cold servings), the client currently provides its customers with beverage concentrates (e.g. syrups to be diluted) that are prepared at a centralized location or provides ingredients (e.g. tea leaf) for beverage preparation at the customer outlet. The current equipment that dispenses these branded teas for immediate consumption by consumers are:-“- Bag in Box/Concentrate Fountain Dispenser (both aseptic and non-aseptically filled); In-Store tea/coffee Brewer (for fresh brewed hot and/or iced serving); and Bubbler (prepared fresh at retail). Whilst the beverages have a great taste and the flavour is consistent, which is vital for the client’s branded products, the combined offering of equipment and beverage often lacks optimal design, superior consumer experience and choice. Our client wishes to enhance their equipment offering by providing greater equipment options to current and new foodservice partners, ensuring that the end consumers receive the best possible tea beverage, while providing its partners with a differentiated solution and value as a beverage provider.

Seeking Insulation technology to enable cold-touch surfacesWe are working with a designer and manufacturer of portable electrical devices for use by consumers in various scenarios, including when at home, work, or travelling. A number of these devices use heating elements, and currently require protective cases to ensure the consumer doesn’t come into direct contact with a heat source or heated outer surface. However, this can make the devices bulky, heavy and hard to use, negatively impacting the user experience. The client wishes to protect consumers from unintended access to hot surfaces, by insulating the heat source and / or cooling the external surfaces touched by the user.

Seeking Low temperature encapsulation technology systems for encapsulation of flavours / aromasThe company is an established manufacturer of FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) products incorporating a range of flavourings (e.g., fruit, herb, botanical or synthetic versions). Flavour molecules with high volatility and a low boiling point (e.g., esters and lactones) tend to evaporate from the product even at ambient temperatures, leading to loss of the desired flavour profile over time. To extend the ‘freshness’ and shelf life of these products it is desirable to protect and stabilise the flavour compounds through encapsulation. Some traditional methods of encapsulating aromas and flavours (e.g.,spray drying) require the use of high temperatures which can also lead to loss of volatile compounds and poor encapsulation efficiency. However, recently a number of alternative encapsulation approaches have been developed that operate at low temperatures, and are therefore suitable for use with volatile flavours / aroma molecules.

Seeking market for White Turmerric known as Curcuma aromatica SalisbCurcuma aromatica Salisb. mentioned as ‘Vanaharidra’ in Ayurveda, belongs to the ‘ginger family’ Zingiberaceae. It is a perennial herb with characteristic aromatic rhizomes used in many traditional systems of medicines in India, China and other Southeast Asian countries. The rhizome of the plant is rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, curcuminoids, tannins and terpenoids which are reported to be the reasons for its various pharmacological properties. The extraction of compounds in different solvents shows that the plant contains curdione, neocurdione, germacrone as its major components. Extensive literature survey showed that the plant has anti-cancerous, anti-obesity, anti-acne, anti-tussive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and wound healing properties. The rhizome extract of the plant is highly effective against many human pathogens as well as microorganisms causing food spoilage and food borne diseases. The plant thus proves to be a promising candidate for the development and designing of modern drugs for several diseases. The present study was aimed to review the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of C. aromatica SalisbNomad Foods posted this Technology Call

Seeking Materials &/or Technologies to replicate the functional properties of methyl cellulose (E461) in frozen food applicationsWe are seeking a clean label replacement that can replicate the functional properties of methylcellulose in food applications. Ideally this would be using a single material; but a combination of materials will also be considered. Methylcellulose(MC) E461 is a water soluble modified compound derived from natural cellulose. MC is widely used in food applications due to its multitude of functionality which includes thickening, gelling, binding, stabilising and emulsification. At room temperature it is stable in aqueous solution and will swell when mixed with cold water, producing a clear/opalescent colloidal mixture. Upon heating, MC forms a gel and has the unique property that this thermal gelation is reversible, returning to a viscous solution once cooled. Methylcellulose used in food production is typically supplied in powdered format, stored at ambient temperature. The powder is white/off-white in colour with a neutral odour and flavour profile. Dosage rate varies depending on the application but generally ranges from 0.5-5%. MC is used in a range of food applications including ice creams, dressing/sauces, bakery and plant based products. Whilst it has many application benefits, its modified nature and E number classification can have a negative impact on consumer acceptability and familiarity with ingredient declarations. Thus there is a gap identified to find a clean label alternative. Specifically, we are interested in: - A raw material(s) of neutral colour and taste - Preference for powdered format but others will be considered - Ability to replicate the multiple functions of methylcellulose - Ability to measure/quantify the functionality of methylcellulose
