|
pepsi will be coming out with a new drink, or a modification to pepsi in general, that lowers the amount of sugar needed in the drink while still retaining sweetness. this research was done in collab with senomyx, and their partnership with pepsi ended in september 2019 (meaning at the time of this posting their research is done, hence they will come out with a new thing in the future). senomyx uses HEK293 cells from an aborted fetus from the 70's whose origin documentation (from the FDA) has been lost.
oh and also

According to Senomyx's website, the company is collaborating with Solae, the international soy ingredients supplier, "to develop new bitter blockers that better modulate and control bitterness in certain soy-based products." Senomyx has identified the receptors in the mouth responsible for sensing bitter taste and developed a chemical additive to knock out these receptors when eaten with hydrolyzed soy protein and other soy derivatives. |
