HONEY BEADS: EDIBLE HONEY PACKAGING

VIEW INFOGRAPHICS

Research

"HONEY CONSUMPTION IN MALAYSIA AND GLOBALLY HAS REACHED USD 12.6 BILLION, DRIVEN BY SCIENTIFIC RECOGNITION OF ITS MEDICINAL BENEFITS. HOWEVER, CONVENTIONAL PACKAGING HAS REMAINED UNCHANGED FOR CENTURIES, RELYING ON GLASS OR PLASTIC BOTTLES. HONEY IS SENSITIVE TO HEAT, WHICH DESTROYS ITS ACTIVE NUTRIENTS, MAKING TRADITIONAL COMMERCIALIZED HONEY LESS SAFE, HARDER TO PRESERVE, INCONVENIENT TO TRAVEL WITH, AND UNAPPEALING TO YOUNGER CONSUMERS. TO SOLVE THIS, OUR RESEARCH TEAM CREATED HONEY BEADS, AN INNOVATION IN EDIBLE HONEY PACKAGING USING REVERSE SPHERIFICATION. BECAUSE THIS PACKAGING PROCESS REQUIRES NO HEAT, THE HONEY’S ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND HEALTH BENEFITS REMAIN INTACT. THIS INNOVATION DELIVERS A SAFER, NUTRITIOUS, PORTABLE, AND COST-EFFECTIVE PACKAGING SOLUTION. IT IS SET TO BOOST THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF LOCAL HONEY, ENABLING IT TO BE MARKETED INTERNATIONALLY AND ELEVATED TO THE GLOBAL STAGE. "

AGARWOOD (KARAS) LEAF EXTRACT POWDER: PIONEERING FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT APPLICATION

VIEW INFOGRAPHICS

IP

OUR PRGS PROJECT DEVELOPED AGARWOOD LEAF EXTRACT POWDER (ALEP) AS A SCIENTIFICALLY SUPPORTED FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT USING AQUEOUS EXTRACTION, CARRIER-ASSISTED MICROENCAPSULATION AND SPRAY DRYING. THE STUDY ESTABLISHED ITS CHEMICAL PROFILE, IDENTIFYING MANGIFERIN, IRIFLOPHENONE, YUANKANIN AND GENKWANIN AS KEY BIOACTIVE MARKERS. ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY ASSESSMENT SHOWED ALEP WAS TOLERATED AT THE 2,000 MG/KG LIMIT DOSE, WHILE PRECLINICAL FINDINGS DEMONSTRATED PRELIMINARY ANTIDIABETIC POTENTIAL AND IMPROVED GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT TREATMENT-RELATED ADVERSE EFFECTS IN THE MEASURED PARAMETERS. THESE FINDINGS PROVIDE A STRONG SCIENTIFIC BASELINE FOR REFINING ALEP, IMPROVING PILOT-SCALE REPRODUCIBILITY AND TRANSLATING IT INTO A SAFE, STANDARDISED AND COMMERCIALLY RELEVANT FUNCTIONAL-FOOD INGREDIENT FOR INDUSTRY.
