Pennotec is pleased to announce a new research collaboration with Irish company CyberColloids and Bangor University’s Biocomposites Centre with the aim of addressing some factors affecting childhood obesity by making food choices healthier. This SBRI challenge-led project is overseen by Welsh Government’s Food and Drink Division and supported financially through the Welsh Government and Innovate UK’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). It aims to develop new functional food ingredients from surplus food industry resources in Wales and use them to replace high calorie ingredients such as fat in the kinds of food that are particularly popular with children.
