  • Concrete Bids for a Share of the Wine Fermentation Market

    Concrete is porous, allowing micro-oxygenation so the wine can breathe.

  • Lower-Cost Biochemical Production Developed

    One of the first polymers under development is PTF—a 100% recyclable molecule that, when used to make bottles, substantially improves gas-barrier properties compared to other polyesters.

  • Chemical "Fingerprint" Identifies Bogus Spanish Spice

    Analysis revealed that 26 of 44 samples were neither grown nor processed in Spain.

  • Sensor Detects Toxins That Leach from Plastic

    For residents in countries that have not banned DEHPs, the device provides a way to ensure there aren’t harmful levels of contamination in packaged food and drinks.

  • Engineering for the Developing World: A Thresher for Tanzania

    Threshing grain by hand is a labor-intensive process, yet the high cost of mechanized threshers results in millions of people continuing to thresh by hand.

  • Cryogenic Freezing Helps to Speed Cookie Production

    Cryogenic processing with liquid carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen may offer advantages in speed, space and efficiency over other chilling or freezing methods.

  • Barley Gene Could Help Cut Greenhouse Gases from Rice Production

    Researchers find that rice can be cultivated to emit virtually no methane from its paddies during growth.

  • Sabic and Elopak Collaborate on Renewable Coatings for Cartons

    Elopak will soon become among the first companies to launch beverage cartons with second-generation renewable coatings in the European market.

  • IHS Expands Partnership with Leading Food Science and Technology Publisher IFIS
