Enter the MEDITERRANEAN FOOD and agro industry applications of Solar COOLING technologies-or MEDISCO as it is known. This European commission funded initiative has developed

and tested a refrigeration system driven by solar energy for the food and agro industry in the Mediterranean region.

With the above in mind, a European research project has developed new environmentally friendly materials that can replace oil-based plastic films used in packaging for food

The CTP worked with partners from various research institutes and the food and packaging industries across six European countries.

But better managed, it could mean more water resources for other basics like drinking, hygiene and cooking.

Applications for this kind of materials mix can be found in diverse domains such as the pharmaceutical industry, the food and processing industry, energy production or systems biology.

Everyday products such as coffee, corn flakes, nuts or fertilizer all depend on this field of knowledge known as multi-physics.

#Researchers create guilt-free superfood that tastes like bacon As will be familiar to anyone miserably chewing through leaf after leaf of kale in a beleaguered attempt to shed a few pounds,

it's hard to banish thoughts of cheeseburgers, pizza or--many a dieters'Achilles'heel--bacon. But some of those cravings, at least, might soon be banished,

and perhaps more importantly, tastes like bacon, according to its creators.""In Europe, they add the powder to smoothies,

or add flakes onto food, "Langdon says in an article in the University's newspaper."

it tastes like bacon, not seaweed. And it's a pretty strong bacon flavor.""Dulse, which is an"excellent source"of minerals,

#DNATRAX tracks tainted food with molecular bar code According to the US Center for disease control (CDC) 129000 Americans are sent to hospital and 3000 die each year from food poisoning.

and detective work but Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers in partnership with DNATREK have developed DNATRAX a DNA-based additive for directly tracking food from producer to consumer.

and then subjected to DNA analysis. The application of food tracking was unexpected an bonus. DNATRAX is surprisingly simple.

It's an odorless tasteless substance that's classified as a harmless food additive by the US Food and Drug Administration.

It's made of strands of nonliving and nonviable DNA encased in sugars similar to common icing sugar.

Applying DNATRAX is simply a matter of spraying it on fruits vegetables and meats or mixing it in with bulk commodities like honey olive oil flour or rice.

Aside from tracking down contaminated food LLNL says that DNATRAX can also help combat food piracy.

but piracy is actually a major problem for almost all commerce including food. Called wastage grocery shelves are invaded constantly by everything from fake corn flakes to counterfeit honey selling under false labels to adulterated wines

and olive oils mixing the premium with the cheap stuff. Since such label swapping and adulteration does not occur where the food is produced

but somewhere down the line DNATRAX can identify fraudulent foods as well as how many adulterants have been added how much

and where they came from. Another application that LLNL is looking at is protective clothing.

With the current Ebola outbreak tracking contamination in anti-contamination suits is vital so the researchers see DNATRAX as a safe way of assessing how well current suits are performing.

We are prepared not to deal with an outbreak of pathogens such as E coli and salmonella in tainted foods.

However DNATRAX is a quick and efficient way to stop these foods from sickening more people

The food goes into oxygen-free tanks with particular bacteria species inside that thrive without oxygen.

Those bacteria break down the food in many steps; during the last step, bacteria produce primarily carbon dioxide and methane gas.

Anaerobic digestion is considered also a less favored way of dealing with excess food. From an environmental standpoint, it's better to chop food up into deli salad,

give it away to charities, or send it to animal feed. But if there's some food you can't avoid throwing away,

#Scientists create food powder from waste, increasing shelf life from two weeks to two years Kent Ngo, Vita Jarolimkova,

or as a topping for baked goods. opo is the only freeze drying facility aiming to work solely with produce that would otherwise be discarded

said Ngo. ur mission is feed to 9 billion people by saving the 40%from the food we produce from being wasted through freeze drying

and almost expired food from retailers and producers into food powder, increasing its shelf life from around two weeks to two years. tudents Marin

and Jarolimkova are studying the Erasmus Mundus Masters program Food Innovation and Product Design, at Lund University and Ngo studies a masters of Mechanical engineering and Industrial Design.

and producers throwing away a lot of food due to strict regulations on the expiration date, it makes more business sense for them to sell their fresh produce having only one day left to Fopo.

and pulverizer to turn food into powder. It will be placed in nearby warehouse facilities, and Fopo will then sell the powder back to retailers with an extended shelf life. urrently studying Masters in Food Innovation and Product Design,

we are very much aware of the problems about food waste, said Jarolimkova. he paradox is that the world is producing a lot of food that is more than enough to feed the population,

but people are still hungry. This made us rethink how we can make use of the food we have

and how to save it through modern technology. ood preservation was done in the past, from fermentation, to Asian spices,

is breaking down the food further. And that is how Fopo was born. ood companies can buy Fopo as an ingredient to be incorporated into a product or for use in traditional and innovative cooking methods.

The students see the powder as a source of nutrition derived from natural sources without additives,

freeze dried fruits and vegetables are produced as premium snacks, but we aim to use low priced produce and modern technology

which reduces the processing price per kg to produce an affordable range of nutritional food powders,

Furthermore, we envision the powder to be used in culinary areas as a fruit and vegetable replacement in humanitarian aids, food for space missions, molecular gastronomy,

and also as a cartridge for 3d printing. opo was a joint award winner at the Thought for Food Challenge in Lisbon,

#New half-fat soft cheese solution Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a whey protein solution that enables dairies to produce low-fat soft ripened cheeses that taste as good as the full-fat versions.

Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a whey protein solution that enables dairies to produce low-fat soft ripened cheeses that taste as good as the full-fat versions.

Nutrilac Softcheese makes it possible to reduce fat in soft ripened cheese by 50 percent with no loss of creaminess.

It is supplied as a white powder that is simply added to the cheese milk prior to the pasteurisation stage.

Claus Andersen, category manager at Arla Foods Ingredients, says, f all the major dairy categories, cheese is among the least developed

in the sense that it very difficult to produce low-fat cheeses that make the grade in terms of taste and texture.

Taking some of the fat out of the cheese has a major impact on quality, principally because it makes the product matrix too hard.

This means the majority of low fat cheeses compare poorly with their full-fat counterparts. heese-makers have tried traditionally to address this with fat substitutes such as fibres,

and eating quality has suffered. In addition, they require declaration on labelling, which is undesirable in a category where the only ingredients listed are usually milk, salt, rennet and culture.

Whey protein, however, behaves in cheese in a similar manner to fat, ensuring the product retains its creamy texture and taste.

Arla Foods Ingredients asked an independent laboratory to run tests to assess the quality of each cheese in terms of taste, texture and appearance.

In all cases, the Brie made with Nutrilac Softcheese outperformed the reference cheese. educing the level of fat and increasing the amount of whey protein in a soft ripened cheese can result in the product that has eluded cheese-makers until now:

a delicious low-fat cheese indistinguishable from its full-fat equivalent. At last, high-quality reduced fat soft ripened cheese is within reach

and so is the potential for increased sales in this underdeveloped sub-category of the dairy market,

This work builds upon previous studies Zhang's team has done with xylose, the most abundant simple plant pentose sugar,

Unlike other hydrogen fuel production methods that rely on highly processed sugars, the Virginia Tech team used dirty biomass--the husks and stalks of corn plants--to create their fuel.

He also confirmed the ability of this system to use both sugars glucose and xylose at the same time,

Typically in biological conversions, these two sugars can only be used sequentially, not simultaneously which adds time and money to the process.
