SBE Special Sections in CEP Magazine

SBE members gain access to the semi-annual SBE Special Section in CEP.

Developing Precision Microbiome Medicines

Large-scale sampling of patient microbiomes is giving one organization the tools to correlate microbiome composition with immune health, driving the deployment of safe, live biotherapeutic treatments for cancer and COVID-19.

Engineering Gut Bacteria as Living Therapeutics

Microbes found in our intestines hold great promise as tools to treat human diseases. Genetically engineering gut bacteria is a unique strategy to design controlled and effective living therapeutics.

Human Health is Bound to Microbiomes

Our microscopic surroundings have come into focus, but for all the wrong reasons, sadly, as we scrub hands, sanitize door handles, and don masks to protect ourselves from an unseen foe.

Leveraging Bugs as Drugs

Manufacturers must overcome unique challenges to produce effective microbe-based therapies at scale.

Unraveling Plant and Soil Microbiomes

Harnessing soil microbiomes may be the key to meeting global food demands and revitalizing soil health. However, new tools are needed to understand and unlock their potential.

Engineering Frozen Desserts

The scraped-surface freezer is at the core of ice cream production. Understanding and controlling this operation and the storage conditions of the final product are critical to creating the smooth and creamy treat consumers expect.

Challenges and Opportunities in a Legacy Sector

The food industry currently favors established companies, methods, and technologies, but increasing consumer interest in health and sustainability is demanding innovation. This is an opportunity for companies that can provide transformative innovation and disrupt the status quo.

Changing Tastes

Jell-O salads — neatly chopped vegetables, canned or fresh fruits, and cubes of meat or fish encased in shiny gelatin shaped into decorative molds — have, as Laura Shapiro says in her book Perfection Salad, “congealed in the decorative mold of history.” The once-ubiquitous buffet staple owed...

Functional Surfaces in Food Processing

Food contacts many inert surfaces that direct flow or induce turbulence during processing. These surfaces could be modified to provide additional capabilities. The feed spacer material of spiral-wound membranes used in dairy applications is one such surface that could be functionalized to mitigate...

Putting Pressure on Food

The food industry has embraced high-pressure processing (HPP) as a food safety technology. HPP may also help satisfy consumer demand for clean-label products that are safe, nutritious, and don’t include synthetic chemicals.

Single-Cell Proteins as Aquaculture Feed

The demand for aquaculture seafood is expected to increase to feed the growing global population. Producing this food source will require a supply of advanced protein ingredients to supplement or replace fishmeal. Single-cell proteins (SCP) could meet this need while leveraging the corn ethanol...
