🤔 What’s the variability in starch properties of barley samples from all over the world? 📝 This is what we unravelled in our newly published paper “A global set of barley varieties shows a high diversity in starch structural properties and related gelatinisation characteristics” by Daan Gielens, Charlotte De Schepper, Niels Langenaeken, Ashley Galant, and Christophe Courtin 💡 In this work, the gelatinisation behaviour, amylose content and small to large granule proportions were assessed for 23 industrially relevant barley samples. Given the impact of high starch gelatinisation temperatures and granule proportions on the brewing process, it makes us wonder: Should starch gelatinisation temperatures and granule proportions become selection criteria for barley? 🤔 Want to know more?

Beyond the application of cell cultivation for cultivated meat lies a vast and diverse range of uses for this technology. One of the most promising applications is the development of collagen, which is broadly used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. If you can't recall where this ingredient is commonly found, let me provide you with some examples: Do you chew gum? Enjoy gummy bears? Use facial creams? Well, those products all contain collagen! Additionally, collagen is the most abundant protein in your body! But how is it produced? Essentially, collagen protein is typically purified from animal tissues. However, as animal production approaches maximum efficiency, it comes with significant environmental and ethical impacts. This calls for an alternative form of production: cellular agriculture! 🔬 🌱 One of our portfolio companies, Jellatech, is pioneering the cultivation of collagen from animal cells. They produce a bioidentical collagen protein that offers consumers a pure form of collagen. They have already launched bovine and human collagen produced through cultivation. These products can be utilized as ingredients in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries! We are thrilled to stand by your side as you achieve these milestones, guys! Congratulations!

In May 2023, the Camarillo City Council adopted a zoning ordinance text amendment to make the City even more friendly to life science and technology companies. The municipal code now expressly allows for life science and advanced technology as permitted uses in our industrial and office zones. Other changes included several favorable abatements on factors like building height, noise, parking, and more. With wet labs, life science and pharmaceutical development anchoring a growing biosciences corridor along the 101 freeway, Camarillo's appeal in this sector is evident.

Fueling Innovation, One Cup at a Time: Celebrating World Coffee Day at Boltzmann Labs ☕️ On this #WorldCoffeeDay, we celebrate the perfect blend of science and passion that drives innovation—just like that perfect cup of coffee. At Boltzmann Labs, our work in small molecule and protein design often draws inspiration from everyday phenomena, including the chemistry behind your favourite brew. 🔬 Did you know? Coffee is packed with over 1,000 chemical compounds, and its rich complexity mirrors the challenges we tackle every day. From molecular interactions to synthetic pathways, understanding the nuances of chemistry is what makes both the science and your cup of coffee special. 🧪 Our work in Boltchem, for example, decodes complex molecular interactions, enabling breakthrough discoveries in fields like pharmaceuticals, just as understanding the molecular profile of coffee can enhance its taste and aroma. So as we sip our coffee today, let’s remember that both science and a cup of coffee are all about the right balance, exploration, and the art of crafting something truly transformative. Happy World Coffee Day! 🌍☕️  #BoltzmannLabs #CoffeeAndChemistry #InnovationInEveryCup #WorldCoffeeDay #MolecularScience
