Our institute has signed an MoU with a Start-up FermiAyur for mentoring and handloding for the production and functional evaluation of Fermented wheat bran polysaccharide (FWBP) as multifunctional prebiotic and bioactive delivery system for nutrients and functional food bioactives with improved bioavailability. This was awarded as the most promising innovation during INFUSE 2025 summit.

FWBP is a single ingredient with multiple functional roles that traditionally require separate components- prebiotic potential, gut health, immune modulation, active delivery matrix due to emulsification and encapsulation potential. FermiAyur is respresented by Dr Digambar Kavitake and Dr HS Shetty. FWBP is an off-shoot of the postdoctoral research of Dr Digambar that he carried out at ICMR-NIN under the mentorship of Dr G Bhanuprakash Reddy, Scientist G.

A new perspective on regulating unhealthy foods in India
A commentary published in Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia by our researchers proposes a dual-axis framework that integrates:

✔️ High Fat, Sugar and Salt (HFSS) nutrient thresholds
✔️ India’s unique food systems and culinary diversity
The paper argues that focusing on only nutrients or only processing may not adequately capture the complexity of Indian foods.
The proposed approach builds on the Dietary Guidelines for Indians (2024)
