Introduction

This report explores the range of manufacturing technologies that are available for encapsulating ingredients to change their performance characteristics. The report focuses on innovation and the companies with the expertise to design new delivery systems with improved properties for ingredient delivery. Over the last decade, the food industry has begun to invest in delivery technologies.

Features and benefits

* Gain insight into the reasons for using delivery systems to encapsulate nutraceutical ingredients .
* Identify the key technologies available for producing encapsulated nutraceutical ingredients, their advantages, disadvantages and associated costs.
* Review regulations applicable to the use of delivery systems in food & gain insight into the effect of these regulations on the industry in the future
* Identify innovative companies and discover the potential of their approaches for delivering novel encapsulated nutraceutical products.
* Identify the areas of the nutraceutical market for which delivery systems are most important and why.

Highlights

The food market is changing: Over the past decade, consumers have become more concerned for their health and are increasingly inclined to self-medicate. Healthcare providers, too, are keen to shift some of the burden of healthcare costs to individuals and recognize that functional foods may provide alternatives to medications.Adding nutraceuticals to processed foods can be challenging: The ingredient must be delivered to the customer in a form that tastes good, feels good & is stable & bioavailable. However, many ingredients are sensitive to the manufacturing process, have their own unpleasant flavors or colors, or adversely affect product stability.The food industry has begun to invest in innovative delivery technologies to overcome these problems and thus to improve the health benefits offered by their functional foods or beverages. These delivery systems also have the potential to reduce the costs associated with food processing by reducing overages of unstable nutrients.

Your key questions answered

* Why do ingredients require modification through the use of a delivery system for inclusion in functional food products?
* How can the use of encapsulated ingredients actually reduce the manufacturing costs for a functional food product?
* What are the drivers and resistors for the functional food, and hence the functional ingredients, markets?
* How are encapsulated ingredient products regulated?
* Which companies/academic laboratories are innovating in this area and are able to provide their expertise to food and ingredient manufacturers?

Molecular diagnostics represents a revolution postponed, perhaps, but one that is now clearly underway. DNA Testing has emerged fully from research into clinical practice and becoming a dominant platform in clinical medicine.

From Emerging to Emergent Technology

Instrumentation now automates many of the sample preparation and assay steps that were formerly labor intensive. New tests are being launched all the time. At each step of the way, Kalorama Information has reported on its progress, and in this latest market research report we look at the present state of the market, and the advances that have made DNA testing routine.

Many molecular tests are CE Marked and FDA-cleared and many more are in development. The result is that molecular testing is indicated in many areas of health care.

Molecular Testing Compiled and Analyzed and Explained by a Leading Expert

Authored by lead Kalorama diagnostic analyst Shara Rosen, Kalorama Information’s World Market for Molecular Diagnostics is the most comprehensive global market report available on the emergent field of molecular diagnostics.

This report covers key platforms of molecular diagnostics, including the following :

• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
• Non-PCR Amplification Technologies, including:
  • bDNA
  • TMA
  • SDA
  • LIPA
  • NASBA
  • Invader
  • Others
• In-situ Hybridization
• Sequencing
• Microarrays
• Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) and Tissue Arrays
• Mass Spectroscopy
• Other Molecular Platforms

This report provides market estimates and analysis for molecular diagnostics in the following categories:

• Infectious Diseases (including HIV, Hepatitis GC/Chlamydia,Organism ID, MRSA, HAI et al, Mycobacteria, TB Respiratory, Others)
• Blood Screening
• Histology
• Oncology
• Prenatal
• Coagulation
• Tissue Typing
• Inherited Diseases
• Pharmacodiagnostics

The various clinical techniques and trends are discussed from the point of view of their present and potential market impact.

Market analysis in this report covers world markets for in vitro diagnostics, with focus on the developed areas of the globe — North America and Western Europe. However public health and infectious disease are a growing global problem and where possible the report covers IVD products related to the globalization of diseases.

As part of its exhaustive coverage of nucleic acid testing, the report includes the following:

• Market Sizes and Forecasts
• Profile and Assessment of Over 140 Key Competitors
• Breakout of Molecular Diagnostic Market by Region (N. America, W. Europe, Asia, ROW)
• Medical and Technological Trends
• Discussion of Globalization of Markets and Diseases
• Information on Reimbursement of New Technologies
• Review of Novel Test Platforms
• Review of New Market Developments, Such as Consumer Genomics and Testing Services
• Discussion of Market Impact of Home Brew Tests
• Discussion of Diagnostic Biomarkers and Genetic Indicators

All market data are based on factory sales to the end user and not retail pricing or reimbursement payments. Data for the molecular test market are presented in U.S. dollar market size for categories of tests, and for specific analytes where possible. The dollar value of a market segment is directly proportional to the number of tests performed, because the cost of the instrumentation is generally buried in the per test price.

The report discusses tests and technologies that are currently available and those that are expected to take their place. Generally, current products and technologies establish the standard of care and its value to payers. Many of the assays and techniques presented in the report are expected to replace the standard of care in 2007/08, but with healthcare systems’ emphasis on cost/benefit analysis for new technologies adoption, the market value and thus penetration capabilities of newer approaches may be limited.
