New Products Launched in Collaboration with Industry Partners
Our recent collaboration with food and agrocommodities multinational, Agrocorp, culminated in HerbYvore, a plant-based cheese, which is now sold in Fairprice Finest outlets and other food online platforms.
Tunable texturisation of plant-based meat analogues.
Extrusion for Product Texturisation
SIT leverages high moisture extrusion in the texturisation of plant protein meat analogues. Texturisation can be rationally controlled by varying raw materials and extrusion process parameters.
SIT’s successful spray dried industry prototype – instant beverage for dysphagic patients
Spray Drying
SIT has spray drying capabilities ranging from lab-scale formulation to kilo scale production of food safe powders from solutions, emulsions, and suspensions.
Protein and nutrient-rich ingredients produced by fermentation using variable food substrates.
Food Fermentation
SIT is developing scalable fermentation platforms to turn generally regarded as safe (GRAS) edible fungi and mycelial strains into nutritious and sustainable food ingredients.
3D model of solar simulation study for the agrivoltaic set-up.
Urban Farming
SIT is developing a novel, eco-resilient Urban-metabolic Farming-module to offer sustainable urban vertical farming solutions, to use existing HDB or a unique terrain setup as a testbed to implement plug-and-play units. The farming unit design will feature air-regulation, optimal sunlight intake capability, optimized film materials and seamless integration with the built environment.
SIT is studying the use of probiotics and the different solar PV arrangements and their effects on increasing different crop yield in rooftop hydroponic farming. The data collected on crop performance, PV arrangements/power acquisition capability, and impact of probiotics will be mined to devise an optimized solution for agrivoltaic farming systems that will be of interest to urban farmers and related organisations.
Aquaponics Automation System Architecture
Aquaponics Farming
SIT is designing and developing smart automated aquaponics systems with advanced sensors and instrumentation, internet of things, and data analytics to increase local production of fish and vegetables, at minimum labour and operating costs. The high-yield and high-tech aquaponics system can be implemented both indoor and outdoor by resident gardeners and agriculture and aquaculture companies.
