  2. COVID-19 Rapid Response: Improving Food Security in the Face of Pandemics / COVID-19: Diversifying Protein via Mechanized High Density Mealworm Farming

    SBC: ALL THINGS BUGS LLC            Topic: 8119999999999999

    Our target problem is the unsustainable unstable food supply for animal protein in the face ofpandemics such as COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus). Current sources of animal proteinsuch as mammals and poultry are unsustainable and pose production and biosecurity risks. Wemust learn lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and make appropriate changes including howour food is produced. Pandemics cause sup ...

  3. Natural Immune Boosting Compounds as Alternatives to Antibiotics

    SBC: ALTBIOTICS LLC            Topic: 83

    Routine use of antibiotics at subtherapeutic levels in the livestock industry has been criticized for triggering antimicrobial resistance. FDA has recommended the withdrawal of medically important antibiotics for production practices in the U.S. as of January 2017. Although various alternatives to antibiotics are currently on the market, none is able to match the efficacy of antibiotics. We recent ...

  4. Adding Value and Sustainability to the Food Industry: Mealworm Protein Ingredient as Extract and Powder

    SBC: ALL THINGS BUGS LLC            Topic: 85

    Adding Value and Sustainability to the Food Industry: Mealworm Protein Ingredient as Extract and PowderThe goal of this SBIR effort is to contribute value and ingredient diversity to the food industry. The insect based food market is currently valued at $105M and is growing to $1.53 billion by 2021. To date only whole insect powders, not fractionated or extracted protein products made from insects ...

  5. New Technology and Genetically Engineered Insects for Sustainable Food, Nutrition, Health and Other Applications

    SBC: ALL THINGS BUGS LLC            Topic: SB163002

    As the human population grows, it is critical to decrease consumption of materials from the planet and its ecosphere. The world adds 70 million people annually. The UN expects the population to grow to over 9 billion 2050. Climate change, soil degradation, unstable water supply all reduce the ability of traditional farming to satisfy food needs. Population increase and scarcity of resources and fo ...

  6. Diversifying and Adding Value to the Food Industry: Mealworm Powder as an Ingredient

    SBC: ALL THINGS BUGS LLC            Topic: 85

    Diversifying and Adding Value to the Food Industry: Mealworm Powder as an IngredientThe goal of this SBIR effort is to begin diversifying the insects as a food market currently valued at $105M and growing to $1.53 billion by 2021. Currently, crickets have been the primary focus of the market, but mealworms offer a strong alternative. To become competitive in the larger protein market, the insect b ...

  7. GHz, Octavespanning Photodetectors for MWIR/LWIR

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: SB153002

    Exploitation of new chip-scale optical frequency comb sources demands improvements in MWIR/LWIR detector performance, including: High speed (5 GHz); high sensitivity (NEP < 1pW/Hz1/2); broad spectral response (Octave); and thermo-electric cooler (TEC) operating temperature. No existing detector meets these demanding performance parameters. Phase I successfully designed and demonstrated an octave s ...

  8. GHz, Octavespanning Photodetectors for MWIR/LWIR

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: SB153002

    Exploitation of new chip-scale optical frequency comb sources demands improvements in the performance of MWIR/LWIR detectors. These detectors must meet the following specifications: High speed ( < 5 GHz), high-sensitivity (NEP < 1pW/Hz^1/2), broad spectral response (Octave), all at TEC operating temperatures. At present, no single detector exists that meet these demanding performance parameters. I ...

  9. Increase production of canna germplasm using multiplex PCR screening and antiviral treatments for rhizome sanitization

    SBC: HORN CANNA FARM, INC.            Topic: 82

    Horn Farms Inc needs to routinely produce sufficient annual seed stocks to support commercial production of key canna varieties. Thus the greenhouse diagnostic and sanitization program is necessary to meet production goals. Accurate visual disease assessment is carried out at 2 and 4 weeks of growth (instead of 10 and 16 weeks). Genus specific PCR primers were developed which detect all viruses in ...

  10. Low Dark Current, Extended Wavelength SWIR Sensors Using Hydrogenated Unipolar Barrier InGaAs

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: SOCOM12002

    In this Phase II program, improved performance SWIR sensors with extended wavelength response to 2.5 microns will be developed using two disruptive technologies, which Amethyst has successfully demonstrated in the Phase I program: unipolar barrier (e.g., nBn) detector structures, and defect passivation via hydrogenation. This two-pronged approach addresses the main performance limitation of extend ...
