Extraction &purification of Calystegines Iinosugars (C&I) for use as natural preservatives

天然食品防腐剂，以延长加工食品的保质期，在提供食品安全的糖和盐有限的食谱越来越重要。亚氨基糖（C&I）是一种有价值的产品，已被证明在食品中提供天然防腐剂功能。马铃薯生产过程中产生的规格马铃薯，已知含有化合物。拟议项目旨在通过在冷藏和常温加工食品系统中的测试，产生C& I的提取，纯化和浓缩以及有效性评估的技术知识。该项目具有创新性，如果成功，它将成为英国第一个新的天然防腐剂的主要来源，可能会被广泛使用，特别是在盐和糖的减少可能导致保质期和食品安全问题的地方。在食品系统中的使用将支持公共卫生举措-体重管理，盐和糖的监管，以及通过减少食物浪费，支持商业可持续性和创新战略实现循环经济的进展。

Natural food preservatives to extend the shelf life of processed foods are increasingly important in the provision of food safety in sugar & salt limited recipes. Iminosugars (C&I) are valuable products which have been shown to provide a natural preservative function in foods. Potato manufacturing process generates out of spec potatoes, known to contain the compounds. The proposed project is designed to generate the technical knowledge for extraction, purification & concentration of C&Is & evaluation of effectiveness through testing in chilled & ambient processed food systems. This project is innovative in that, if successful, it will be the UK's first major source of new natural preservatives, likely to be widely used, especially where reduction in salt & sugar may lead to shelf life & food safety issues. The use in food systems will support public health initiatives - weight management, salt & sugar regulation, and progression towards a circular economy via the reduction in food waste, supporting business sustainability and innovation strategies.
