Pennog Limited

We aim to provide food manufacturers in the Mid and North Wales Food Technology Cluster with a sustainable and locally sourced and produced replacement for fats and sugars in a wide range of prepared foods. This project seeks to develop and evaluate a highly innovative new food ingredient that promotes safe, healthy and nutritious diets. By developing an ...

Reductions in the toxicity and acidity of rain as a result of the Clean Air Act (1968) led to an uncontrolled proliferation of lichen and algae on surfaced in the built environment. Algae can cause unsightly staining of building surfaces. Lichen, which are a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi, provide an anchorage point and nutrient source for...

Pennog Ltd (t/a Pennotec) provides innovative, biorefinery processes that convert food manufacturing by-product streams into high value products for consumers and industries seeking sustainable alternatives, which deliver superior health, environmental and societal benefits. We seek to deliver a substantial commercial impact to the UK economy by simultane...

This project aims to address the future demand for single-use PPE and medical devices in a world impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, it addresses the need for high risk locations and activities; hospitals, social care, hospitality, wellness and social centres to be more resilient and efficient in their handling and use of PPE and surfaces th...

The TAMFI project aims to deliver an optimized sustainable bioprocess with improved productivity and utilization of functional ingredients for prototype food systems and nutritional supplements that extracts full value from a significant marine waste resource (processed crustacean shell waste).

An unintended consequence of the use of cleaner environmental conditions is the prevalence of microbial and plant growth on surfaces in the built environment. This has led to more regular use of chemical fungides, biocides and algicides in order to keep surfaces clean. The aim is to design, develop and test, in collaboration with Bangor University, new fu...

The use of Industrial Biotechnology processes to convert waste materials into high value products is considered highly innovative. Support is sought in assessing inventiveness and in providing support towards securing intellectual property rights.

Through the downstream processing of outputs from an integrated chitin extraction and grass sugar bio-refinery process, Pennotec (Pennog Ltd) seeks to manufacture and evaluate a bio-degradable natural flocculant product; chitosan, in water treatment applications. The highly innovative development envisaged in this study has the potential to significantly ...

This innovative project will integrate food industry waste with biorefining of a readily available non-food feedstock to overcome barriers for the production of high value chemicals with implications for the environment and rural economy. It will develop a process for the co-production of organic acid and chitin by co-fermenting the crab waste in combinat...
