Regulatory authorities such as the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency are set up to evaluate the effects of treatments on disease and disorders, not healthy people.

First, there the issue of using a food for energy. Olivier Dubois, senior natural resources officer at the United nations Food and agriculture organisation (FAO),

says that using food for energy like sugar cane for biofuels must avoid depleting food stocks

They said it politely, but these were among the reactions of the two expert"tasters#who earlier this month got the first taste of a potential food of the future#a burger grown in a laboratory.

Funded by Google cofounder Sergey Brin, the five-year project took cells from organic cows,

cultured them in a nutrient solution to develop muscle tissue, and then teased them into thin strands of meat.

Plus egg powder, beetroot juice, breadcrumbs, salt and saffron to add texture, flavour and colour to the otherwise white meat.

And $330, 000. The result? One taste tester said it was"close to meat, but not that juicy#.

#Another described it as"like an animal protein cake#.#Commercial cultured meat is at least a decade away,

And what might we be making a meal of decades or centuries from now? Perhaps science fiction can offer some clues.

which offer chillingly detailed dystopian visions of near futures in which food is either blandly synthetic, badly genetically modified, or both.

Less intellectually nourishing sci-fi food staples include the entire meal in a pill (or dollop or slab of gunk

The idea of all-in-one food pills goes back to the 19th century and has been the subject of much serious research.

Nasa recently admitted that as part of a programme"to turn science fiction into fact#they are funding work to develop a 3d food printer.

So if we do ever send astronauts to Mars they might be tucking into freshly printed pizza.

Another dish frequently cooked up is a future in which we've embraced entirely nouvelle cuisine:

but that's what some experts believe will be inevitable as conventional food sources run out. There may be plenty more fish in the sea

but not the ones we're used to eating. As a result, less traditional species are expected to increasingly find their way into trawlers, supermarkets and restaurants.

A recent report published UN's Food and Agricultural Organisation concludes that as the climate changes

European researchers are working on a sugar-based drug-delivery system which they believe will boost the potency of anticancer drugs,

The legacy of the three Marie Curie researchers will be based the sugar fully recyclable PEF bottles that will steadily replace the familiar PET bottles.

#Deciphering the'language of sugars'to benefit health and industry It was this challenge which formed the focus of Polymode,

It is not just ketchup and blood whose properties are dictated by complex sugars. Also known as polysaccharides, these complex sugars are by far the most abundant biomolecules on the planet.

Produced biologically in plants, animals and microorganisms, they determine how cells behave in a multitude of ways.

Sometimes, their role is structural, giving strength to plant cell walls. Sometimes they store energy. And they carry vital information by

which cells ommunicate Human immune systems often recognise pathogens by the sugar structures on their surface.

The sheer diversity of the structures and capabilities displayed by complex sugars, together with the fact that they are natural materials

These include food and cosmetics, where they can be used as thickeners or emulsifiers, and the health and pharmaceuticals sectors.

Back to that ketchup and blood comparison: one type of polysaccharide is used to achieve the correct viscosity in ketchup,

while another helps to prevent blood coagulation in dialysis patients. The problem is that the polysaccharides with the most useful properties are produced often by only a very few specific organisms,

therefore, the task was to maximise both the supply of these sugars, and their uses.

Whereas the language of genes famously makes use of just four etters there are more than 20 letters in the language of sugars.

Bringing together biologists, chemists, microbiologists, biochemists, molecular geneticists and biotechnologists from universities, biotech firms and food and pharmaceutical multinationals from around Europe, Polymode has identified now its first eadingand ritingenzymes.

and with various uses in the food and cosmetics industries-into a novel type of carrageenan never seen before.

This is now being evaluated commercially. nzymatically produced designer polysaccharides with defined properties will open up the all but-untapped potential of complex polysaccharides not only for applications in the food and medical sciences

Because only 2-3%of water is used for cooking and drinking, the researchers decided to limit the filtration scheme

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.

#'Foodini'machine prints burgers, pizza The"Foodini, "as it's called, isn't too different from a regular 3d printer,

but instead of printing with plastics, it deploys edible ingredients squeezed out of stainless steel capsules:""It's the same technology,

whereas with food it's different temperatures, consistencies and textures. Also, gravity works a little bit against us,

as food doesn't hold the shape as well as plastic.""The Barcelona-based startup behind the machine says it's the only one of its kind capable of printing a wide range of dishes, from sweet to savory."

"In essence, this is a mini food manufacturing plant shrunk down to the size of an oven, "Kucsma said,

pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be targeted mostly at professional kitchen users,

press a button to print your ravioli. But Natural Machines is quick to point out that it's designed to take care only of the difficult

and time-consuming parts of food preparation that discourage people from cooking at home, and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing.

Nevertheless, the company is working with major food manufacturers to create prepackaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food,

even though they assure these will be free of preservatives, with a shelf life limited to five days. The printing process is slow

such as very detailed cake decorations or food arranged in unusual shapes, the Foodini can be useful for recipes that require precision and dexterity, like homemade pizza or filled pasta.

Currently, the device only prints the food, which must be cooked then as usual. But a future model will also cook the preparation

and produce it ready to eat. The idea also comes with a social element too."

That is, if people don't balk at the idea of eating printed food.""We have done tests

and everybody liked the food, "explains Kucsma.""Take the microwave oven, for example: in the 70s, people were a bit fearful about it,

they thought food could be poisoned with radiation or something, but fast forward 30 years, and there's one in every household.

This is real food, with real fresh ingredients, it's just prepared using a new technology."

The semisoft suppository is made from the seaweed-derived food ingredient carrageenan. Women could use this method to protect against the spread of sexually transmitted infections during unprotected heterosexual intercourse the researchers say.

Zaveri pointed out that carrageenan was selected over gelatin (the traditional choice for semisoft suppositories) because it offers a number of important advantages.

Also it is more stable than gelatin at higher ambient temperatures common in tropical regions of the world.

The new method spins the drug into silklike fibers that quickly dissolve when in contact with moisture, releasing higher doses of the drug than possible with other topical materials such as gels or creams

so the researchers looked at different ingredients for the fiber that would allow for the highest concentration of drug with the fastest-possible release in the body.

By adjusting the ingredients in the fibers, researchers were able to dissolve the drug in about six minutes,
