Seeking a next generation material for safe Microwave, Oven and Air Fryer cooking from frozen

• Posted by Nomad Foods
• ·
• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

As a global market leader in the frozen food sector, Nomad Foods is seeking advanced material solutions capable of maintaining structural and chemical integrity across an extreme thermal lifecycle: from deep-freeze storage at -18°C to active cooking in microwaves, air fryers, and conventional ovens (up to 220°C). The material must not adversely affect the product in any way: Proposals must demonstrate that the material has zero organoleptic impact, ensuring no migration of taste, odor, or aroma to the food product throughout its lifecycle. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our packaging portfolio, the material must achieve a RecyClass Recyclability Assessment Method (RAM) rating of Grade A or B. This may be accomplished through the use of an appropriate barrier coating or by utilising an existing recyclable substrate. The packaging format remains open, though our preference is to identify solutions that could replace our current flexible plastic cook‑in pouches or trays. The technology we are seeking should be at the functional prototype stage. The proposed packaging format must enable a high-performance "cook-in-pack" solution for our consumers. This technology will facilitate steam-cooking directly within the bag, pouch, or enclosed material, preserving the nutritional integrity of the food. The material must offer high transparency, allowing consumers to see the product, allowing us to showcase our vibrant, high-quality ingredients, emphasizing the premium nature and freshness of the Nomad Foods portfolio.

This invention provides a novel method for transplanting target cells into a subject by creating a sealed transplantation space using an acellular membrane attached to a visceral organ. This technique allows for the insertion of a mixture of support cells and target cells, enhancing cell survival and integration. For example, this method can be applied to improve the engraftment of insulin-producing beta islet cells for diabetes treatment, potentially increasing the success rate of cell transplantation.
