#Bringing Amazon-like Innovation to Healthy Fast food Over the last 30 years, technology has made food less healthy albeit plentiful and affordable.
Food brands today define themselves by what they lack: on-GMO ot treated with growth hormone o added preservatives Our 35%obesity rate in the US,
grown, stored and produced food would be unhealthy. They would have no reason to think differently from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
which approved the first GMO in 1980. Unhealthy, or even unsafe, became collateral damage in the ar on Poverty Ironically,
Consumers are demanding better food and theye winning. The lexicon of food is transitioning from reactionary negatives (like noting the absence of a chemical) to positives (like aturally grown ustainably raised
and arm-to-fridge. Technology new role in food is to figure out how to make it natural, sustainable and local,
as well as plentiful and affordable. It starting to happen in dining. The first act was the rise of the fast casual business model.
Chipotle shed or, more accurately, never adopted the volume-optimization processes of its onetime largest shareholder Mcdonald.
his model is cuisine agnostic. Any kind of food can be applied. And I think it the new fast food model.
There is an alternative model. The latest incarnation of fast food are companies like Sprig and Munchery.
The ewfast food uses terms like ocally-sourcedand rganicto describe their product. Technology coupled with process innovation has allowed them to cut out a costly portion of a typical chain cost structure high foot-traffic locations.
Chipotle can be picky about ingredients and process because its prices are twice as high as that of Mcdonald.
Optimizing the last-mile delivery for perishable food is another step. And a third step is using data to make better decisions.
For sensitive beverages like juice, tea, milk-based mixed drinks, beverages with solid-fruit or cereal constituents,
as well as other liquid foods, a particularly product-friendly approach is imperative for the process technology involved.
Essentially, there are three reasons necessitating product deaeration of fruit juices before they are bottled: avoidance of filling problems, minimising oxidative influences,

For producing fruit beverages with solid constituents like pulp or fruit chunks, Krones is unveiling a new and affordable option for aseptic production of beverages with a solids content.
In the shape of Dosaflex, Krones has developed a container station for product-friendly, accurate dosing of aseptic components.

#IBM and Bon Appétit's Chef Watson app cooks up some surprising dishes Meet Chef Watson, the most versatile culinary genius around.
the new cognitive cooking app that brings the knowledge of the world-famous"Jeopardy"-beating supercomputer to the average household kitchen.
to create dishes using the 10,000 recipes from Bon Appétit database that have been fed to Watson. hen we got started on this idea about a year ago,
and we thought the world of cooking was a great place to show that to show the role food plays in our lives, Steve Abrams,
and the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) food truck that made a splash at the 2014 South by Southwest festival in Austin.
Over a five-day period, ICE and IBM treated passersby to dishes that were prepared using Watson database of recipes from the culinary school.
ICE and IBM published a cookbook, ognitive Cooking with Chef Watson: Recipes for Innovation from IBM & the Institute of Culinary Education. or Rivera, it seemed like her publication resources could make for a great match with IBM technology.
And throughout the year, we have created some really great food. It all about giving creative people this creative tool that speaks to not just your method
but also why you cook. It about your lifestyle, the lifestyle that surrounds food. ow does it work?
The app is fairly easy to use. Just enter a simple ingredient to start with and Watson will generate a series of suggested pairings with that item.
Some of them are intuitive, while others are more outside of the box. Going through various options,
Watson suggests different dishes using those combinations, presenting the user with Bon Appétit recipes that use those ingredients.
The user can then modify or adjust those recipes, adding or subtracting ingredients. Essentially, Abrams said it is important to think of Chef Watson as the ultimate cooking aid.
The computer is not replacing the human cook but instead offering the best possible options for creating unique, sometimes counterintuitive, recipes.
Rivera asserted that the main appeal is that it an app that fosters iscovery.?Think of the most commonly used ingredients chicken and garlic people use them to just get dinner on the table.
What Watson does, is take that information and give you something out of the ordinary,
Abrams said. think everybody recognizes the accomplishments of Watson from eopardy, but this helps you in your own personal life.?
of its ability to offer targeted cooking solutions that can meet usersdietary restrictions. If an individual has a condition like celiac disease
While superficially, the app can be used to create interesting, delicious dishes, Rivera suggested that it is most impactful as a lifestyle guide that can help people make better informed decisions about
and how they cook. t not a computer telling you how to cook, but is instead a computer helping you cook.
There a difference, Rivera added. Rivera and Abrams said they have worked to make the app more user friendly over the past year,
ultimately, food is a ocial experience. o, what are the best dishes Abrams and Rivera have prepared through Chef Watson?
Abrams demurred and said that he best Chef Watson dish is the one that has yet to be created. or Rivera,

the sugar part of the prostate cancer glycoprotein is reacted with a custom-designed molecule that contains a boron group at one end (the boron linkage forms a reversible bond to the sugar).
The glycoprotein is then bound to the surface via its sugar groups, before the rest of the surface is blocked with a third molecule.
Within that cast, there was a special area with boron-containing molecules that can recognise a specific set of sugars.
so there's a clear need for more accurate diagnosis. By focussing on the sugar, we appear to have hit the'sweet spot'for doing just that.

#Detecting small metallic contaminants in food via magnetization: A practical metallic-contaminant detecting system using three high-Tc RF superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDS) Abstract:
The detection of metallic contaminants in foods is important for our health and safety. However, existing inspection methods have limitations.
and it cannot be applied for the inspection of foods that have lactic acid bacteria because X-ray radiation causes ionization of such foods.
(SQUIDS) for food inspection. The detection technique is based on recording the remnant magnetic field of a contaminant using SQUID sensors.
In the process, a strong magnetic field is applied to food to magnetize the metal fragments inside,
if they are contained in the food, can be detected by sensing their magnetic fields using SQUID sensors.
says,"We have developed an inspection system that permits contaminant detection in a food package with a height of 100 mm with three high-Tc RF SQUIDS.
The target size of the metallic contaminant in food with a stand-off distance of 100 mm is 0. 5 mm."
the sensor is placed inside a square metallic box designed such that food can be tested as it passes through this box.
