 | Seeking natural colors for foods and beverages |
|
PepsiCo is evaluating different natural color ingredients and technologies to replace Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #40, and Blue #1 for multiple food and beverage brands in order to address consumer demand. Specific challenges are in the Red #40 (food) and Blue #1 (food & beverage) replacers. |
 | Seeking Upskilling and Next-Generation Activated Carbon Fiber Technology |
|
BACKGROUND P&G competes across many consumer-packed goods categories where malodor is a top consumer concern. We believe that incorporating volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption technologies into products could serve our consumers’ needs for odor control. We have evaluated numerous adsorbent technologies and activated carbon fiber (ACF) is of particular interest. NEED DESCRIPTION We are seeking to consult and potentially partner with an expert in activated carbon fiber to understand the impact of precursors, processing conditions, and methods of incorporating ACF into textiles and/or nonwovens on volatile organic compound adsorption performance, durability, and large-scale manufacturability. As a first step, we are interested in the identified SME giving a seminar on the basics of ACF to educate the organization. Longer-term, we are interested in co-developing and testing various ACFs in our in vitro and in vivo methods to link the various parameters of ACFs to their odor control performance. Below are more specific descriptions of the expertise and capabilities we are seeking. |
| | Seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. |
|
PepsiCo is committed to reducing GHG emissions from seed to shelf. We are looking to engage with partners who can assist us in our goal of reducing GHG 20% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As new technologies emerge, efficiencies will be gained and PepsiCo aims to remain at the forefront of best practices in the food and beverage industry. PepsiCo is seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. Solutions may be in one or more of the following areas: • Agriculture – sustainable farming and the reduction of GHG intensive fertilizers • Manufacturing – adopting energy efficient manufacturing processes; novel methods for utilizing waste; use of renewable thermal energy at scale • Packaging – alternative packaging materials and formats that reduce GHGs • Distribution – technologies to assist in the efficiency of our company-owned and third party fleet |
 | Universal sensor platform for immunoassay |
|
The research group in Bioelectrochemistry and Biosensors of the University of Alcalá has developed a method for the construction of a universal analytical device that allows the adaptation of any ELISA format to an immunosensor format, in order to develop simple, low cost and easy to use sensors. This device is based on the sequential deposition of self-assembled monolayers of polymers and affinity elements, applicable for the detection and quantification of any analyte or target antigen in a liquid sample, which allows the development of "on-demand" immunosensors. The group looks for companies or institutions from agro-food, bio-sanitary and environmental sector, interested in reaching collaboration agreements, commercial agreements with technical assistance or patent licensing. |
 | Wind flow Interface concentrator for VAWT |
|
The researchers of the University have developed a wind flow concentrator incorporated into a Vertical Axe Wind (VAWT), which allows a significant increase in wind speed before being injected to the turbine. The system allows the optimization of the currents with independence of its direction and it is applicable to any type of VAWT. It is suitable for any type of building. |
 | Stable inhibitors of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway for treating Asthma and Cancer |
|
The University of Leipzig has patented a series of Carborane-Based Inhibitors of the 5-LO Lypoxygenase pathway. These inhibitors are selectively cytotoxic towards several leukotriene-dependend melanoma and colon cancer cell lines., while leaving non-malignent cells intact. Furthermore, these inhibitor analogues have shown co-inhibition of heat shock proteins necessary for tumor development in such cell lines. Experimental results on mice showed promising results. Moreover, since these compounds have a high content of boron, they may also be suitable for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), a binary cancer therapy that uses selective boron compounds and thermal neutrons. Furthermore, leukotriene inhibition could be useful in the treatment of asthma, as their production is related to inflammatory responses. The BBZ is looking for organzations interested in acquiring this technology offer, helping perform precilinical and clinical studies, and ultimately leading to the licensing of it. |
