The document announces a conference on using nanotechnology in the food industry to be held on May 21, 2019 in Zaragoza, Spain. The event will explore how nanotechnology can benefit food companies and increase profits while addressing consumer concerns over safety. The schedule includes presentations on using nanotechnology to encapsulate essential oils, create smart active packaging, extend food shelf life to reduce waste, and ensure safety throughout production. A roundtable will debate challenges and opportunities in the field from different perspectives.
The document discusses a digital marketing campaign run by Z Digital House. It provides details on the campaign's goal of driving conversions through targeted ads on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Display Network. The campaign targeted customers segmented by data in specific regions like CALA, APAC and EMEA over 4-5 weeks. While it generated some direct leads and average clickthrough rates, the conclusion is that audience targeting and asset creative optimization could be improved for future campaigns.
A Sixth Victory out of Eight Applications to Mekorot and its Partners
By: Rachel Hedvat, WaTech® Division,
Mekorot, via WaTech® division, the division responsible for Mekorot’s entrepreneurial ventures and innovations, supports and cooperates with companies that submit to the call for proposals funded by the Israel Innovation Authority and Ministry of Energy, in order to promote technological innovation in the State of Israel. Government offices advertise call for proposals for research and technological demonstrations funding. Companies that develop innovative technologies are invited to submit their proposal applications via online platform.
Mekorot, an Israeli water company, supported six out of eight technology company proposals through its WaTech division. The proposals were submitted in response to calls for proposals from the Israeli Ministry of Energy and Israel Innovation Authority. The funded proposals included technologies for electrolytic disinfection, filtration backwash treatment, reducing water flow friction, drone-based infrastructure monitoring, and treating nitrates in desalination brine using algae or green basins. The total funding received for the six projects doubled Mekorot's annual research budget. WaTech and other Mekorot divisions provided support that enabled examination and implementation of advanced technologies.
challenge related to food safety & shelf life extension is the development of antimicrobial food packaging systems that reduce/inhibit/retard the growth of microorganisms in packed food
This document describes research on developing antimicrobial food packaging films containing synergistic combinations of essential oils. Specifically:
- Carvacrol and thymol were found to have synergistic antimicrobial activity against E. coli when combined.
- The essential oils carvacrol and thymol were loaded individually and in combination into halloysite nanotubes to protect the volatile oils during polymer processing.
- Films containing the carvacrol-thymol loaded nanotubes were produced and found to have longer lasting and more potent antimicrobial activity against E. coli compared to films with the individual essential oils.
- The films were effective at reducing E. coli levels in inoculated hummus by 7
The document summarizes research on developing polymer nanocomposites with sustained antimicrobial activity. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were used as carriers for carvacrol, an essential oil with antimicrobial properties. HNTs/carvacrol hybrids were melt compounded with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to produce films. The films exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against E. coli, L. innocua biofilms, and A. alternata fungi over extended periods, demonstrating their potential for food packaging applications to reduce microbial growth. The HNTs carriers helped retain the volatile carvacrol during high-temperature processing and provided sustained release from the films.
The document provides information about LinkedIn's Dynamic Ads beta test, including two available formats (Follower Ads and Spotlight Ads), how to set up campaigns and ads within Campaign Manager, bidding and budgeting options, and available reporting metrics. It notes that the beta is currently limited to these two formats and one ad size, with additional formats to be added over time, and asks participants not to share the information more widely.
The document provides a 16 step guide for installing Outbrain's new conversion pixel on a website. It outlines removing any existing pixels, accessing the tracking code from the Amplify dashboard, installing the code on all pages, testing that the pixel is added properly, setting up URL-based and event-based conversion tracking, and monitoring conversion data in the dashboard. Key steps include getting the tracking code, installing it on all pages, setting up conversions by name, value, and window, and enabling up to 20 conversions for tracking at a time.
Outbrain Lookalike Audiences allows advertisers to target new audiences that share common interests with existing customers or converters based on what content they read online. Lookalike Audiences identifies the attributes of a seed audience, such as site visitors or customers from a CRM, and uses Outbrain's data on user interests and habits to model and dynamically adapt audiences with similar profiles. Initial results from over 30 campaigns found Lookalike Audiences delivered a 45% increase in conversion rate and 30% decrease in cost per acquisition compared to standard Outbrain campaigns.
- Matched Audiences allows advertisers to target website visitors, contacts, and accounts on LinkedIn.
- Website retargeting involves adding a LinkedIn Insight Tag to track visitors and create audience segments. Contact targeting uses uploaded email lists or integrated data. Account targeting uses uploaded company name lists.
- Setting up the audiences involves naming and defining the lists, then selecting them in campaign targeting. Campaigns will launch once a minimum audience size is reached.
