项目摘要

The 20th century food system was built of readily accessible carbohydrates (refined sucrose & starch, 4kcal/g). It provided abundant calories but led to localised nutrient excess and health issues such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. The 21st-century's food system must redress this nutritional imbalance. Despite well-documented negative impacts of sugar and flour, they are cheap and highly functional ingredients, making their replacement challenging. To date, the food industry's attempts at "healthier" product reformulation have achieved only partial success. Despite being more agriculturally abundant than refined carbohydrates, fibre (0-2kcal/g), the macronutrient most lacking in Western diets, has been largely ignored.This collaboration between Cambridge Glycoscience Ltd and the University of Cambridge looks to redress this imbalance by expediting the commercialisation of CamGlyco's platform of "From Fibre" ingredients by turning agriculture's most abundant renewable resources (by-products like corn cobs, oat hulls and wheat straw) into replacements for sugar and flour / starch in food. The project outputs will provide farmers with additional income streams from underutilised plant residues, produce more food per unit of land, without concomitant increase in greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss, and give access to healthier ingredients to companies and consumers across mainstream food products; providing better food for all.

20世纪的食物体系是由易于获取的碳水化合物（精制蔗糖和淀粉，每克4千卡）构成的。它提供了丰富的卡路里，但导致局部营养过剩和健康问题，如肥胖、糖尿病和心脏病。21世纪的粮食系统必须纠正这种营养失衡。尽管有充分的证据表明糖和面粉的负面影响，但它们是便宜且功能强大的成分，这使得它们的替代品具有挑战性。迄今为止，食品行业对“更健康”产品配方的尝试只取得了部分成功。尽管在农业上比精制碳水化合物更丰富，但纤维（0-2千卡/克）这种西方饮食中最缺乏的常量营养素在很大程度上被忽视了。剑桥糖苷科学有限公司和剑桥大学之间的合作旨在通过将农业中最丰富的可再生资源（如玉米芯、燕麦壳和麦秆等副产品）转化为食物中糖和面粉/淀粉的替代品，加速CamGlyco“来自纤维”成分平台的商业化，从而纠正这种不平衡。项目产出将从未充分利用的植物残留物中为农民提供额外的收入来源，在不增加温室气体排放和生物多样性丧失的情况下，提高单位土地的粮食产量，并使主流食品的公司和消费者能够获得更健康的成分；为所有人提供更好的食物。
