Allulose vs Tagatose: Find the sweet spot for your next product
Allulose is often hailed as the king of alternative sweeteners. But tagatose also has some prebiotic benefits. So then, which one is “better?” Both these compounds occupy a very similar “rare sugar” niche. But they differ quite notably in sweetness, calories, stability, and regulatory/nutrition positioning. For instance, using Allulose, product makers can achieve near‑zero‑calorie, low‑glycemic […]
Energy Utilities Could Save a Fortune Using This Startup’s Grid Upgrade System
Across the world, electricity grids are under growing stress. Overloaded transformers, rising outages, and reliability risks are becoming more common. Modernizing just the US grid alone could cost upwards of $2 trillion over the next decade. These traditional grid modernization projects take that long due to permitting, supply chain delays, and construction bottlenecks. A startup […]
How Startups are Crossing the Scale Barrier for Cultivated Pet Food
The most visible trend in cultivated pet food is not replacement, but integration. Early products rarely attempt to substitute conventional meat entirely. Instead, cultivated proteins are introduced as functional components within broader formulations. This approach reflects a pragmatic understanding of both economics and trust. Partial inclusion allows brands to highlight benefits such as cleanliness, consistency, […]
Ice cream that reduces weight and 3 other trends you must track in 2026
At first glance, the connection between GLP-1 and ice cream is not obvious. High-protein ice cream itself is still an emerging category, and GLP-1 for ice cream is even newer. Many brands are now asking critical questions: How exactly is demand for ice creams changing? What does satiety-driven indulgence look like? And how are competitors […]
This startup fetches 99% of valuable lithium from polluted wastewater!
Lithium refining is highly water-intensive. It requires up to 2.1 million liters of water per ton of lithium produced. In regions such as the South American highlands, this contributes to water scarcity and rising environmental concerns. At the same time, sodium contamination remains one of the biggest challenges in lithium purification. Because sodium and lithium […]
Pet Owners Are Demanding GLP-1 in Their Pets’ Food. Here’s Why?
50% of traditional weight-loss programs for pets fail, often because busy pet owners find it hard to stick to strict feeding schedules, or resist those pleading eyes at dinnertime. The reason is quite similar to the weight-control problem many pet owners face. It’s tough to control diet or exercise on a regular basis, especially when […]
Why Nestlé’s 66% GLP-1 Boost Matters for Every R&D Leader
Key insights: 90% of GLP-1 users now express interest in food products that support their health goals, reflected in their changing shopping habits. GLP-1 users are consuming 127% more high-protein foods and fewer sugary drinks. This shift has pushed the F&B industry to explore natural ingredients that simulate GLP-1 production. Harleen Singh, industry expert at […]
How GLP-1 became the breakthrough multi-organ drug of the decade.
GLP-1 drugs have quickly moved beyond their image as “just weight-loss medicines.” Recent U.S. approvals, Zepbound (tirzepatide) for sleep apnea in 2024, Wegovy (semaglutide) for MASH with fibrosis in 2025, and Ozempic (semaglutide) for reducing the risk of kidney disease worsening, show how these medicines are now being used for a wide range of health […]
This Simple Innovation Is Solving Solar Panel Dust Problems With Wind!
One of the most persistent issues in solar energy is the loss of efficiency due to dirt and dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust buildup can decrease a solar panel’s output by 4–7%, especially in arid or dusty regions, such as deserts or tropical climates. Traditional cleaning methods, such as manual washing, use water and […]
Are Insects and Algae the Future of Pet Food? Here’s the missing link your R&D has been looking for.
42% of pet owners now prioritize spending on high-quality nutrition, fueling interest in organic, natural, and minimally processed pet food. Pet parents are becoming increasingly attentive to their pets’ health. This shift pushes R&D teams to explore gut-health formulations and bioavailable nutrients that improve digestion and immunity in companion animals. With pet obesity rates exceeding […]
4 Technologies That Make Alcohol-Free Spirits Taste Like the Real Thing!
What if I tell you that you could pull alcohol out of beer in just 60 seconds without touching the flavor? That’s exactly what Alfa Laval is doing. Their De-alc module uses a low-temperature, single-pass vacuum stripping system to remove alcohol and reinject aroma compounds. This enables the manufacturer to preserve beer’s original body and […]
This startup grows medicines and organs in a box without constant human labour!
Biotechnology companies worldwide face a major bottleneck: turning scientific discoveries into real, scalable products. Manual cell culture is slow, difficult to reproduce, and heavily dependent on individual skill. Even experienced scientists introduce variability, and most labs lack digital systems that monitor biological changes in real time. As a result, promising work in drug development, climate […]
These Five PET Recycling Technologies Will Define Your Strategy for a Decade.
Only ~50% of the sorted PET is recycled back into food-grade materials. This is due to the high initial investment costs and infrastructure barriers to PET recycling. Mechanical recycling accounts for the majority of PET recycling, but it is often limited to clean, sorted materials, producing lower-grade rPET. In contrast, chemical recycling, which can handle […]
Does GLP-1 Medicine Really Help Fight Addictions or Is This A Placebo?
Patients taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss and blood sugar control reported some surprisingly interesting changes in their habits. They found it easier to resist cravings and cut back on addictive behaviors, particularly around food. “Anecdotally, people with food addiction who find GLP-1s helpful in this regard talk about how the medication turns down the […]
These 10 Agri-Tech Startups Are Turning Farms Into Smart, Chemical-Free Zones Using AI!
The global population is set to hit 9.8 billion by 2050, demanding around 14,886 million tons of World cereal equivalent (CE) food. Astoundingly, up to 40 percent of global crop production is annually lost to pest-related issues. This highlights the urgency of rethinking agricultural practices to improve yields and meet the rising food requirements. The […]
Rethinking the Building Shell: Key Trends in Global Construction
Buildings and construction remain central to global decarbonization efforts, given the sector’s scale and slow rate of progress. The Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction 2024/25 estimates that in 2023 the sector accounted for 32% of global energy demand and 34% of CO2 emissions. Operational emissions reached a record 9.8 Gt CO2, while embodied carbon from construction materials accounted for approximately 2.9 Gt CO2. Moreover, sector […]
