Precision fermentation
Precision fermentation promises to make
protein sweeteners, such as brazzein, miraculin
and thaumatin, cheap and plentiful,
offering food brands new ways to reduce
sugar in food and drink.
Karen Huh, CEO of Joywell Foods, said
the company had a vision to eliminate the
prevalence of sugar in the Western diet.
“Sweet proteins – many of which are over
1000 times sweeter than sugar – can reduce
how much sugar we consume in our daily
lifestyle," she said.
Israeli company Amai Proteins uses computational
design and programming to create
novel protein sweeteners. Every protein
is composed of a necklace (sequence) of
twenty types of beads called amino acids.
Computational Protein Design (CPD) delivers
designer protein that are 100% protein with
a novel sequence of amino-acids. Non-GM
proteins are between 70 and 100% identical
to sweet proteins found in nature and have
been optimized for taste, stability, and expression
yield.
Flexibility in perfection
WEBER WESLICE 4000
SERIES
Weber Maschinenbau has expanded
its slicer product range to include a
slicer series that redefines the term
flexibility. The weSLICE 4000 models
are a solution for full-range suppliers.
At an average output, they offer
maximum flexibility for many smallbatch
applications – all on a very
modest footprint. Depending on
the individual performance requirements,
food processing companies
can choose between the weSLICE
4000 circular blade slicer or the weSLICE
4500 involute blade slicer. The

in
set-up times,
combi ned
with lower
staff requirements,
also help
to minimize
costs in the
long term.
