SUNTORY HOLDINGS LIMITED

Methods and compositions for developing new protein sources (e.g., microbial, plant-based blends) or utilizing controlled fermentation processes to create novel food products, improve nutritional profiles, or enhance specific characteristics like texture or flavor.

Innovations in formulating food products by manipulating specific ingredients, emulsifiers, flavor compounds, or processing aids to achieve desired sensory properties (taste, aroma, texture) or enhance shelf stability.

Development of food compositions, beverages, or powders designed to provide specific health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as weight management, anti-aging, exercise support, or targeted disease prevention/treatment, often incorporating bioactive compounds or probiotics.

Methods and compositions for introducing, modifying, or expressing foreign genetic material within plant cells to confer new traits, produce novel compounds, or enhance existing characteristics.

Development and characterization of novel plant varieties or cultivars, including field crops, vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants, focusing on improved agronomic performance, aesthetic qualities, or specific product characteristics.

Techniques and equipment for transforming raw food materials into finished products, focusing on efficiency, quality, texture modification, or specific physical alterations like extrusion, drying, or selective material removal.

Non-chemical or non-biological methods that alter the physical properties or structure of water, often claimed to improve its quality or interaction with biological systems, such as vortexing or electromagnetic treatment.

Systems and methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive collection and analysis of physiological data (e.g., blood pressure, electrolytes, genetic markers, B cell repertoire) to assess patient health status, screen for conditions, or aid in diagnosis.

Engineering or breeding plants to exhibit enhanced resistance or tolerance to pathogens (fungi, bacteria, viruses) or pests, often involving the identification and introduction of specific resistance genes or genomic regions.

Utilization of specific DNA sequences (markers) to identify, select, or characterize plant varieties or traits, enabling more efficient breeding, quality control, and intellectual property protection.

Development of devices and methods for non-invasive or minimally invasive collection and analysis of physiological data, often from wearable sensors, to monitor health, activity, or specific conditions.

Therapeutic approaches involving the use of living cells, often genetically modified or ex vivo activated, to treat diseases, particularly cancer, by modulating immune responses or replacing damaged cells.

Design and modification of antibodies or antibody-derived fragments for targeted therapeutic intervention, including bispecific formats, Fc region modifications, and activatable constructs.

Techniques for identifying microorganisms, assessing their viability, quantifying their presence, profiling their metabolic activity, or determining their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, often in complex biological or environmental samples.

Specific techniques and materials developed to remove persistent or difficult-to-treat pollutants from water, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), micropollutants, or specific industrial chemicals.

Systems that integrate digital technology, sensors, or connectivity to monitor, track, or automate aspects of medication administration, often providing data feedback, personalized recommendations, or secure logging.
