Seeking Technology for extraction/limiting absorption of oil/hydrophobic fluids

• Posted by PepsiCo
• ·
• Project Size : Strategic project backed by large scale funding €

New technologies/IP that identify new technologies for oil extraction or preventing absorption of lipids in a porous matrix e.g. potato chips. These technologies can be outside of the food industry such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical to enable oil/hydrophobic fluid removal/reduction. Key areas of focus: 1) Tech limits absorption of hydrophobic fluids (e.g. high temperature post frying to promote oil drainage) 2) Tech that extracts hydrophobic fluids (e.g. steam stripping, centrifuge, super-critical CO2 extraction, ultrasonic) 3) Tech that prevents creation of a porous matrix when exposed to thermal energy (e.g. (pre-treatments such as pulse electric field))

New method for the measurement of the in vivo emission of chlorophyll a fluorescence by photosynthetic organisms, through the generation of light-response curves with independent observations, measured in a non-sequential and much faster way than the existing methods. The method combines the (i) projection in the sample of spatially separated light beams of different intensity or quality, using a digitally-controlled projector, with (ii) the measurement of the emitted fluorescence as a response to each light beam using an image fluorometer.
