The Food and Drink Innovation Network Nottingham Trent University Award for Research
The Food and Drink iNet Innovation Awards were recently announced at the UK's National Space Centre in Leicester.
This one caught our eye:
Nottingham Trent University School of Science & Technology for creating an easy-to-use, colour-changing agar that detects a specific bacterium which can be dangerous in food.
The Enterobacter sakazakii bacterium detected by the chromogenic agar is particularly risky for newborn babies.
The agar can be used right across the food industry, by virtually anyone in a workforce…making it a simple but effective food safety tool.
