Sucralose cleared for current uses, but thermal degradation raises new questions for food manufacturers
, /in Featured Articles, Food Safety /by panglobalEFSA’s comprehensive re-evaluation of sucralose (E 955) confirms the existing acceptable daily intake of 15 mg/kg body weight per day and finds no safety concerns under authorised conditions – but emerging evidence on chlorinated degradation products at elevated temperatures has blocked an application to extend its use into fine bakery wares, with direct implications for […]
Beyond the biomass: Why Europe’s food bioeconomy needs a systemic overhaul, not a simple resource swap
, /in Featured Articles /by panglobalAs the European Commission moves to revise its Bioeconomy Strategy, France’s national agricultural and environmental research institute, INRAE, has issued a detailed set of recommendations urging policymakers to treat the bioeconomy as a complex socioeconomic system rather than a technical substitution exercise. The implications for the food and agri-food industries are profound – and the […]
Cultured beef allergens: Lab-grown meat shows lower IgE binding but heightened alpha-gal reactivity, study finds
Cellular Agriculture, Food Safety & Quality, /in E-News /by panglobalA peer-reviewed study from the University of Canterbury has found that cultured beef cells exhibit a markedly different allergen profile compared to conventional beef steak. Whilst immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding to established meat allergens was lower in lab-grown cells, individuals sensitised to alpha-gal showed significantly stronger immune reactivity to cultured beef — raising important food […]
EFSA and ECDC: AMR in foodborne bacteria remains a European public health concern
Food Safety & Quality, /in E-News /by panglobalAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) in common foodborne bacteria — including Salmonella and Campylobacter — continues to pose a significant public health risk across Europe, according to a new joint report published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Old Man Saltbush powder: a high-protein, natural salt substitute for wheat-based food products
Ingredients & Formulation, Oldman Saltbush, /in E-News /by panglobalResearch from RMIT University has characterised the physicochemical properties of Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia) powder, demonstrating protein quality comparable to soy and pea protein, more than double the protein content of wheat flour, and efficacy as a natural salt substitute — positioning it as a nutrient-dense functional ingredient for reformulated staple foods.
Arla Foods Ingredients launches ready-to-stir BLG protein for medical nutrition powder applications

Novel SERS sensor wrapper enables real-time food quality monitoring and preservation
Food Safety & Quality, Innovation & Trends, /in E-News /by panglobalResearchers at Hanbat National University have developed a dual-function food packaging system that combines surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing technology with antimicrobial properties. The nanostructured wrapper enables real-time, non-destructive detection of nutritional components and spoilage markers whilst actively preserving food through curcumin-based antimicrobial action.
Researchers discover novel coffee diterpenoids with anti-diabetic potential
coffee, Innovation & Trends, /in E-News /by panglobalResearchers have identified six novel diterpene esters in roasted Arabica coffee beans using an innovative bioactivity-oriented analytical approach that combines 1D NMR spectroscopy with LC-MS/MS molecular networking. The compounds demonstrate moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, suggesting potential applications in managing blood glucose levels.
