  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  We are working with a large European food products company, specialising in innovative ingredients to ‘help you cook’ – their range of ambient products includes:-
  - ‘Wet’ food (soups, broths, vegetable sauces and ready meals)
  - ‘Dry’ foods and seasoning ingredients (dried soups, stock cubes, seasoning powders)
  These products assist consumers to prepare tasty and nutritious meals that have a natural and traditional ‘home-cooked’ flavour. Whilst these flavours are important to the consumer, we recognise the consumer’s desire for improvement in both the nutritional and sensorial profile of the products, as well as a reduction in the use of wasteful or eco-unfriendly packaging. Therefore, we are interested finding technologies / products / processes in the following areas:-
  
  New methods to sterilise ‘wet’ products which minimises the negative impact on freshness of flavour, nutritional content, colour, taste and texture. Specifically we are looking for non-thermal processes to achieve ‘commercial sterility’.
  
  Traditionally heat treatments are used to sterilise the products, either UHT process or retorting. These treatments negatively affect the colour, taste and nutritional content of the products - especially for ‘non-cooked’ products such as gazpacho; cheese-based or light-coloured sauces; vegetable based products.
  
  We are interested to find new, state-of the-art non-thermal sterilisation methods / technologies which will improve the nutritional and sensorial profile of the products.
  
  Example alternatives include:-
  - Pulsed electric fields, high hydrostatic pressure, ultra-high pressure homogenisation, plasma sterilisation, etc.
  
  Potential solutions should:-
  - Retain the nutritional values and textural qualities of the ingredients
  - Provide a shelf life of 9-12 months
  - Avoid antioxidants / maintain a clean label
  - Be applicable to existing packaging such as cans, glass, Tetrapack, etc.
  
  Innovative flexible packaging materials which are more ‘natural’ and sustainably sourced, involving less wastage and increased recyclability etc. Paper-based technologies are especially of interest, but biopolymers will also be considered.
  
  Presently much of the client’s flexible food packaging involves multilayer structures (usually including aluminium and / or plastic materials) which are not easily recyclable and are perceived as not natural by the consumer.
  
  We are seeking novel, improved ‘active’ paper-based packaging innovations and biopolymer materials for dry soup pouches and stock cube (compressed & moulded) wrappings. Solutions could be modified paper with enhanced barrier properties (moisture, gases, aromas, oil resistance) through the use of surface treatments, additives, etc.
  
  The packaging materials must provide:-
  - Adequate stiffness for standard manufacturing processes
  - Medium / high barrier properties
  - Fat resistance
  - Ability to seal and fold (in the case of stock cubes)
  
  Potential solutions should:-
  - Reduce the use of non-renewable resources
  - Reduce the overall amount of packaging / waste
  - Reduce carbon footprint

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  This multinational company is seeking new wet coating chemistries that provide excellent combined Anti-reflective (AR) & Ultraviolet (UV) blocking functionality but with low production costs. The key challenge with existing combined AR/UV coatings is the non colourless appearance that results from the two UV and AR layers, hence a third layer of coating is added on top to compensate for the colouring. This makes the process capital intensive and increases the expense significantly. Ideally a solution would be a two layer based AR/UV coating or a completely new system. Alternatively a UV coated glass that can withstand high temperatures and resist damage during the AR layer curing process would also be of interest.
  
  The combined functionality coating can be organic or inorganic or a combination of both.
  
  The coatings need to be applied successfully to glass substrates and fulfill the following technical requirements:
  
  o UV blocking in wavelength region 300-380nm
  
  o High AR transmission - Mean transmission in region 425-675nm:
  
  o Low reflection in region 425-675nm
  
  o The coating needs to be optically transparent. Transmission color: neutral/colorless
  
  o Scratch resistant; cleanable
  
  o Coating should be resistant to high temp: 400C and above
  
  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  The wet coating technology will be applied on glass.
  
  Desired Outcome
  Successful technologies will be able to be applied in a wet form to glass, have combined AR and UV functionality as per required parameters, with no tint in the end coating.
  
  Comments
  This company is looking for coating technologies that offer the combined AR/UV functionality at low cost. They are open to a variety of solutions.

  - ‘Dry’ foods and seasoning ingredients (dried soups, stock cubes, seasoning powders)
  These products assist consumers to prepare tasty and nutritious meals that have a natural and traditional ‘home-cooked’ flavour. Whilst these flavours are important to the consumer, the client recognises the consumer’s desire for improvement in both the functionality and sensorial profile of the products.
  
  They are aware that busy modern lifestyles have increased the consumption of food “on the go” and consumers prefer products that are easy to carry, to prepare and to consume. Therefore, they are interested in adding value to the packaging of their products and hence are keen to learn of new innovative packaging materials suitable for different cooking / heating processes.
  
  Packaging innovations should be for single-use by the consumer, be sustainable wherever possible, and provide functionality to make the final product a ‘must-buy’ product.
  
  Different types of packaging innovations that could be of interest for wet / dry products are:
  
  • Materials that enable microwave cooking, but provide the effect of grill / oven / frying (e.g. for pizzas, meat, etc) - the material could be a part of the product packaging or an added element contained in the packaging that eases the process of cooking
  
  • Rigid or semi-rigid containers (tray, cup, bowl, jar etc.) or flexible pouches which would help in cooking, especially in the microwave
  
  • Packaging which adds new functionality for increased consumer convenience – e.g. increased portability, assembled packaging with different compartments for easy mixing / preparation, non-burn materials, etc
  
  • Packaging that removes need for utensils or measuring device – e.g. incorporating dosing measurements for amount of water to add
  
  • Single use cooking devices such as plastic bags or new innovative container concepts to cook the meal directly and in a more efficient manner – e.g. to provide a cleaner, quick, tastier way to cook
  
  Of special interest is adding value to the ‘dry’ food packaging part of the client’s business:-
  
  • Sachets to easily mix a dry product with water and cook
  • Novel ideas which permit the conversion of a sachet into a convenient container for eating
  
  The client company is already working with some established partners, but is keen to explore solutions from all avenues, from academic research through to company R&D. Therefore, they are willing to consider all types of collaboration, including supplier relationships, licensing, joint product development, etc.

  We are URGENTLY seeking ingredient and/or process technology to reduce the loss of flavour volatiles from ingredients in a snack food base during manufacture (drying / cooking).
  Ingredients:
  The snack food base contains fresh cooked potato with other ingredients such as vegetables, spices, herbs, legumes, dairy, non-meat protein. Whilst some cooked flavours are created in the cooking process through maillard type reactions, other flavour volatiles are lost (e.g. terpenes). Examples of ingredients known to readily lose flavour volatiles include:-
  Delicate herbs (e.g. rosemary, thyme) Fragrant spices (e.g. lemongrass, cinnamon etc) Other volatiles may include Aldehydes, Alcohols, Esters, Ketones & Phenolics
  Processes:
  The freshly cooked potato is mashed and then blended with a combination of wet and dry ingredients, plus oil, into a fresh dough mixture that is shaped and deposited onto a conveyor belt. It then moves through the cooking processes:-
  1st stage - Atmospheric microwave dryer
  - Rapid dry at low temperature to create the texture of the product
  - Moisture content is reduced from 65-85% to ~15% moisture within 120 seconds
  - Monolayer of product on belt
  - Hot air (50C) blown across product to remove moisture generated by process
  - Product temperature is between 100-120C
  2nd stage - Hot air dryer
  - Hot air (~120C) dryer to complete cooking process
  - Moisture content further reduced from ~15% to 2% moisture content in around 20 minutes
  - Product deep bedded at 10cm depth
  
  Current causes of flavour volatile loss:
  The majority of flavour volatiles of relevance for a positive consumer experience are lost during the 1st stage of drying. Mechanisms of loss include:
  (i) co-distillation through steam generation (Hypothesis)
  (ii) heat degradation (e.g. flash-off at a certain temperature or time-temperature)
  
  Potential solutions
  - Rapid, on-line analytical methodologies which can identify and quantify the lost flavour volatiles,
  e.g. by sampling the oven exhaust streams online, and / or providing feedback control
  - Addition of ingredients (wet or dry) to the snack base at the “ingredient addition & mixing” step which directly or indirectly impact retention of flavour volatiles - process aid or declarable ingredient as long as not perceived as artificial
  o Can be sacrificial (i.e. not present or changed in finished product)
  o Can reduce reaction rates of volatile loss.
  We are searching for devices, methods, chemistry or physics relating to reduction of consumer-relevant flavour volatile loss during rapid dehydration of a potato-based composite snack.

- Resultado deseado
  
  Estamos buscando socios tecnológicos para ayudar a impulsar el desarrollo de nuevos productos antimicrobianos para superficies y manos (es decir, desinfectantes, esterilizantes, antisépticos fríos). Nuestro objetivo es identificar enfoques probados para el control de la transmisión de la forma esporulada de Clostridium difficile.
  
  09/05/12 - El deadline de esta demanda ha caducado
  
  Compartir demanda
  
  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming bacterium that is a costly problem for healthcare environments, causing patients to suffer diarrhoea of varying severity. When it encounters unfavourable conditions (such as being outside the body), it forms an endospore that has increased resistance and enables it to remain viable for many months. The spores are easily transmitted between contaminated surfaces or hands by patients and/or healthcare workers and are not destroyed by most chemical disinfectants or antiseptics. Whilst some solutions (e.g.10% bleach) retain some ability to inactivate the C.difficile spores, the aggressive nature (odour, degradation of surfaces and effect on skin) means they are limited in their application.
  
  The complex and protective structure of the C.difficile spore contribute to its environmental and chemical stability. The spore core and outer layers (i.e. coat, cortex) contain different elements such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and peptidoglycan that protect against stresses such as ultraviolet and chemicals. The spore protects the bacteria until it senses specific effectors (germinants) and environmental conditions are appropriate, allowing the C.difficile vegetative (actively growing) bacteria to emerge (i.e. germinate).
  
  Solution
  Potential solutions may come from commercial development, academic research or defence applications (e.g. decontamination / protection against anthrax), and could include means of:
  
  - Treating the spores that eliminates the potential for infectivity
  - Rendering bacteria spores susceptible to conventional disinfectants that are already effective against vegetative bacteria
  - Treating the bacteria or spore so this it is irreversibly locked into its spore form
  
  The client is keen to find safe, effective and easy to use solutions that demonstrate the following criteria:
  
  - Data to support high level of efficacy within short contact/exposure time (aim is for solution capable of achieving 4+ logs (>99.99%) of C.difficile spore inactivation in <60 seconds)
  - Acceptable safety and toxicity profiles (ideally skin compatible)
  - Materials compatibility (no degradation of materials/surfaces in healthcare environment)
  - Acceptable cost-in-use (solutions with realistic cost estimates for high volume applications)
  - Acceptable aesthetics (e.g. odor profile)
  - Established intellectual property coverage and a limited regulatory path
  - Proven efficacy against a current regulatory standard
  
  We appreciate some solutions may not yet fulfill all of the above (e.g. 3 log inactivation at 10mins), so are happy to review opportunities that may be at an early stage of development or could benefit from commercial involvement. Products could include conventional wet disinfectants (e.g. spray, wipe, surface saturation), non-permanent coatings applied by end user, or devices / processes that physically treat and protect surfaces / skin / rooms. Chemical-/biological- based solutions or those with consumable element are of most interest.
  
  Our client is a multinational specialist provider of cleaning solutions for consumer, commercial and institutional users. The company has extensive R&D capabilities, but is actively searching for innovative technology providers they can work with to develop proven solutions for this application.

  Detalles de la demanda :
  
  We are seeking a new walk-in bath design which allows the bather to both enter and exit the bath-tub whilst it is full of water.
  
  Walk-in baths are typically used by the elderly, infirm or those with reduced mobility, to overcome the problems associated with having to climb into and out of a conventional bath-tub. Walk-in baths, as the name suggests, are accessed via a door in the side of the tub, to allow users to literally walk in and out of the bath. Unfortunately this means that the user has to enter the bath when empty, and then wait while the water fills up. Not only is there a risk of the water being too hot or too cold as it enters the bath, but the bather is exposed to the unpleasant / potentially unhealthy chilling environment as they wait for the bath to fill. In exiting the bath the situation is even worse as the bather is now wet and rapidly getting cold, as they wait for the water to drain out before being able to open the door and exit the bath.
  
  No walk-in bath is currently approved by Occupational Therapists, both for the reasons above, and that existing designs still have a small lip/step to enter the bath (so preventing some users from safely using it). We are therefore seeking a novel design to allow the user to enter and exit the bath easily, and to give the impression of entering a full bath of water.
  
  Any new design should provide for:
  • A means to enter the bath, via a walk-in door (at floor level)
  • Instant access to a full bath of water
  • Safe and easy to operate by the bather alone, i.e. not requiring assistance or supervision
  • Retail price close to current walk-in baths
  • Suitability for approval by Occupational Therapists
  • Fit within existing bath / walk-in bath foot-space
  
  Solutions not of interest:
  • Faster speed filling and draining as a replacement for entering a full bath (unless in conjunction with other design / technology)
  • Ladders, ramps, hoists or other means to gain access to the bath
  
  The following design solutions have been suggested, but to our knowledge do not exist commercially or do not fulfil all the requirements. However, we would be interested in individuals or groups who could provide further details on developed solutions, or alternative technologies:-
  o Separate reservoir / double skinned bath to hold bath water / allow instant draining
  o Built-in seat moving device to transport user into full bath
  o Powered drainage device to pump water out of bath
