Fermentation
Precision fermentation
Creating milk without animals
Better Dairy
https://www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2021/02/03/Better-Dairy-Alt-milk-start-up-taps-precision-fermentation-to-disrupt-dairy
Influence
Climate change and animal welfare being prominent concerns in the UK leads UK researchers to synthesise solutions to these complications
Application
Traditional dairy industry produces high carbon emissions and can contain inhumane practices towards animals. Making milk in a vat can offer an alternative method which avoids this
Application
The process allows industry to have greater control over the contents of the milk meaning that undesirable components such as lactose and hormones can be omitted leading to a better product
Collaboration
Better Milk received 1.6 billion pounds in seed money. Funding from other parties such as governments, organisations and individuals is an important form of collaboration
Validating food authenticity
Determining coffee composition by monitoring compounds
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210113120702.htm
Application
Can be used to validate that consumers are purchasing authentic products
Influence
It is difficult to determine the contents of coffee meaning that consumers want yet lack a way to do so
Development/influence
The process involves a recently discovered compound, kahewol, which in it's discovery spring boarded this development
Evaluating food safety in new foods
Insects emerging as a source of food and identifying protein which can cause allergic reactions
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210127171854.htm
Collaboration
Numerous organisations and individuals participated in the research. The project was led by Professor Michelle Colgrave from Edith Cowan University's School of Science along with the CSIRO. Contributions on this topic were also made by James Cook University and Singapore's National Agency for Science Technology
Influence
The world's growing populations and the question of food sustainability creates pressure for new sources of food, such as insects, to enter the market. This in turn means it is important for researchers to evaluate these new sources to determine their safety
Application
This research can help determine if people with shellfish allergies should also abstain from insect foods and also inform policy such as mandating that any products containing insect products is labelled as such
Stopping soil and food contamination
Cadmium and arsenic contamination in rice and mushrooms prevention
https://www.technologynetworks.com/applied-sciences/news/some-food-contamination-starts-during-growth-345219
Influence
A large portion of the world population consumes a lot of rice and mushrooms and from an early age making excess consumption of arsenic and cadmium a health risk. This prompts researchers to devise a solution
Application
Solving this problem will result in rice and mushrooms being less contaminated and safer to eat in large quantities which can benefit communities dependent on these food sources
