Flavor and bioactivesdelivery technologies
Mars

The objective is to identify technologies for protection and delivery of flavors and bioactive molecules prior, during, or post consumption of Mars’ pet food products

The formulation of 20 Functional challenges and addressing them with Function Oriented Search led to the identification of 44 candidate enabling technologies

Butter
Land O`Lakes

Identify concepts for making butter spreadable at 4-7°C.

We have developed 4 Process Options with full consideration of the project requirements and constraints. All solutions support LoL’stradition of providing naturally healthy products, appear to be novel and have the potential for securing new IP.

Petfoodmanufacturing process
Mars

To build a vision of the Mars factory of the future that has the flexibility to respond to global market forces; To build a roadmap for how to get from today’s factory to a future state.

There were identified key problems of current petfoodmanufacturing process. Several solutions and Build Development Roadmap were proposed.

Make shelf stable/refrigerated soups taste more like Home Made
Campbell Soup

Identify innovative solutions enabling technologies not currently utilized by Campbell Soup that will reduce or eliminate adverse effects on aroma, flavor, texture and appearance and still meet Campbell Food Safety requirements

The perception of freshly made soup also depends on the packaging. A different product format is recommended to improve the perception of freshness, e.g. Transparent packaging; Some components are packaged in a separate pouch or compartment.

Two component medication system for cats
Novartis

Developing conceptual solutions of a packaging system that would allow cat owners to conveniently and easily combine the two ingredients (liquid and powder) of a dual medication system for cats at the point of use

There were developed several designs enable convenient operation at the point of use and offer a range of options in terms of user actions and design simplicity. Physical solid mockups (to demonstrate tactile perception).

Bottling process

Technology project roadmap
Rich Products

To develop innovation and R&D roadmap that will fit company strategy
To derive New Technology project platform initiatives centered on “main parameters of value (MPV)” for Rich’s business partners, customers, and consumers

The following directions are candidates for development based on ranking and analysis of market potential, implementation risk and cost of implementation:
•Meal in dough pocket
•Ambient
•Microwavable bread
•Smart packaging

Beverage manufacturing process
Pepsico

To develop a vision for a flexible beverage manufacturing system that will best meet the demands of a changing product portfolio:
Identify specific technologies that will enable the desired flexibility of the future system;

Two scenarios of flexible manufacturing process were developed. Both Scenarios combine functionality and minimize number of operations by combining beverage manufacturing with filling machine
