#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.

#'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."

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,

In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition researchers report that the noninvasive technique tracked skin carotenoid changes over a 28-week period.
That time was divided into distinct dietary phases marked by high and low intake of provided fruit and vegetables along with a phase in
which study participants resumed their usual diets. The palm-reading device which uses resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) has the potential to help nutritionists
and other medical professionals measure and improve the diets of children and adults alike.####There is great interest in the development of objective biomarkers of dietary intake especially biomarkers that can be measured noninvasively##says coauthor Susan T. Mayne professor of epidemiology at Yale university and a developer of the device.##
##Our earlier studies demonstrated a correlation between skin carotenoids and fruit and vegetable intakeâ##this new paper demonstrates that the biomarker was sensitive to changes in fruit and vegetable intake in the intervention setting.##
##Many diet interventions lack objective verification that subjects actually changed intakeâ##this research demonstrates that skin carotenoids can serve that purpose.##
Diets rich in fruit and vegetables have been linked to important health outcomes including reductions in cardiovascular disease type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer.
