Seeking analytical technique to measure air bubble size in fat stabilised foam We are interested in evaluating analytical methods to measure air bubble size distribution and compactness of fat stabilised foams with air bubble sizes below 30 microns. The measurement should not change foam structure, which is the case when a microscope is used.

Seeking Powder Sterilization Technologies We are seeking efficient and effective technologies to sterilize powdered seasonings without impacting performance characteristics. The powdered seasonings provided to PepsiCo are often comprised of onion or garlic powder. The complete seasoning, or its component ingredients, have the potential for the presence of undesirable microbial contamination. Treatment of these powders by way of irradiation can be effective, however, this technique is not permitted without proper labeling in certain global regions. Given the large surface area of the powders in question, other methods of microbial eradication have typically been ineffective. We would like to identify potential technologies to remove microbial contamination without negatively impacting the physical attributes or flavor profile of the seasoning.

Seeking a user friendly method to check the good cutting of the vegetables As a pureplayer of the transformation of the vegetables, we are looking for a method to check the cutting efficiency and be able to predict the changes of our blades (in the field during the harvest and in our factories). This method must be simple to implement in an industrial context without complex tools.

Seeking a technical solution for sample marking and identification at temperature of -86°C At present, technologies such as RFID technology for rapid tag identification cannot be realized at -86°C. It is hoped to find a sample identification scheme that can quickly identify and access the environment at -86°C.
