  5. Use of nutrient rich insect base to create pasta and rice mimicking food products

    SBC: BUGEATER LABS INC            Topic: 85

    The global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050 with food demand to increase by 70% during that time (van Huis, A. et. al, 2015 and Shockley, 2014). Nearly 200 million children worldwide suffer from malnutrition with the World Health Organization estimating that 54% of child mortality is the result of malnutrition (Shockley, 2014). With land and water use already stressed wit ...

  6. Value Extraction and Protein Recycle from Liquid Acid Whey Using Catalytic Electrolysis

    SBC: Waste Hub, LLC            Topic: 85

    Greek (strained) yogurt represents nearly half of the $5B U.S. yogurt industry and has grown at a rate of more than 60 percent per year for the past eight years. For every pound of milk used in the manufacture of Greek yogurt, only one-quarter to one-third ends up in the final product. The remaining waste is liquid acid whey, which contains more than 93 percent water, along with minerals, protein, ...

  8. Efficient Process for the Production of a Drop-in Diesel Fuel Oxygenate from Bio-succinic Acid

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 88

    This SBIR project will develop a new process to produce diesel fuel oxygenates from bio-succinic acid and bio-butanol, which are produced in existing biorefineries.Biorefineries produce large quantities of C5 sugars, which are now commercially fermented to bio-succinic acid (C4O4H10) and bio-butanol (C4OH10). What is needed is an efficient means to convert these biomolecules into useful products s ...

  10. GameteGuard: A Novel Method to Counteract Fertility Decline in Dairy Cattle

    SBC: MEMBRANE PROTECTIVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 83

    Fertility in artificially inseminated dairy cattle has declined as milk production has increased, and is one of the most costly challenges faced by today's dairy farmer. This fertility decline causes economic losses of >$300 million annually, losses due in part to damage incurred by sperm during the handling, cooling, freezing and thawing necessary for artificial insemination. For it is the qu ...
