BANGKOK, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Professor Dr. Supaart Sirikantaramas, a lecturer at the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, and the Center of Excellence in Molecular Crop, Chulalongkorn University, has developed Arto Sucrose-Reduced Technology—a groundbreaking enzyme-based innovation that transforms sucrose in fruits into prebiotics. This technology enables up to a 65% reduction in sugar content while preserving essential nutrients, making high-sugar fruits such as durian, mango, and banana healthier for consumption.

Dr. Supaart was inspired by the dual challenge of managing Thailand’s oversupply of high-sugar fruits and addressing public health concerns related to excessive sugar intake, which is linked to chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Through a proprietary formulation of commercially available enzymes, the Arto process converts sucrose into prebiotic compounds—non-digestible carbohydrates that support gut microbiota health.

The technology is versatile, functioning effectively with both fresh and dried fruits, and is suitable for incorporation into a variety of food products. In collaboration with local farming communities, surplus produce is transformed into value-added items such as sugar-reduced dried bananas, mango smoothies, flourless banana cakes, and choco banana sherbet. Although Arto offers finished products, its primary focus is on the production and sale of sugar-reduced fruit purée for use in industrial food applications.

The project is supported by Chula Spin-Off and the CU Innovation Hub, which have provided essential resources, including business development training, funding opportunities, and commercialization guidance. Arto aligns with global health-conscious food trends, especially in regions like Europe, where demand for high-sugar fruit juices is declining due to increasing awareness of sugar-related health risks.

Looking ahead, Dr. Supaart and his research team are expanding their work to explore enzyme-assisted conversions of starches into functional nutrients, further contributing to the development of health-promoting food technologies. However, scaling up production and integrating the technology into industrial food systems remain key challenges to widespread adoption.

Dr. Supaart emphasizes the critical need to bridge scientific research with real-world applications, fostering collaboration with entrepreneurs and communities to ensure the successful commercialization of Arto technology. For consumers seeking guilt-free desserts and healthier fruit-based alternatives, Arto’s sugar-reduced innovations offer a promising solution.

NAGOYA, Japan, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the 2025 “Rongpiao Cup” Overseas Key Regional Special Competition (Japan Region) concluded in Nagoya. The event is guided by the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee Talent Work Leading Group Office, hosted by the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee Talent Work Leading Group Office, and organized by Chengdu Industrial Investment Group Co.Ltd. The event attracted over a dozen city experts, scholars, and entrepreneurial teams from Japan to explore technological collaborations.

As a core area of Japan’s manufacturing sector, Nagoya is home to Fortune 500 companies such as Toyota and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the Tokaido region. Its advanced intelligent manufacturing ecosystem aligns closely with the goal of identifying cutting-edge technologies and attracting talent. The Japanese region received 47 registrations within two weeks, with 30 projects selected for the roadshow, covering fields such as equipment manufacturing, healthcare, and artificial intelligence. The 30 teams, comprising 16 PhDs and 29 master’s degree holders, hold over 40 patents, with 98% willing to participate in multidimensional collaborations and more than 70% clearly expressing their intention to work with Chengdu.

Guests noted that Sino-Japanese economic and trade resilience is strong, with China being Japan’s largest trading partner for 15 consecutive years, surpassing $300 billion in bilateral trade in 2024. Central Japanese companies are the main investors in China. Chengdu’s imports and exports to Japan over the past five years amounted to 176.351 billion yuan, relying on five national specialty service export bases, with cumulative outsourcing contracts totaling $344 million. The event has become a bridge to showcase Chengdu’s open image and promote Sino-Japanese economic and technological cooperation.

After the “6-minute roadshow + 2-minute defense,” the “dry semiconductor wafer regeneration technology” and other six projects won first, second, and third prizes respectively. The event integrates financial resources, offers incubation and connection services, and facilitates the implementation of projects. According to reports, the “Rongpiao Cup” will also host a competition in Europe, leveraging overseas workstations and other carriers to attract international talent and bring projects to Chengdu, thereby promoting the development of “five external links.”
