The trials build on the existing Challenge Metabolic Health priority research known as TOFI_Asia, (Thin on the Outside, Fat Inside). The research has already been recruiting local members of Asian communities for clinical trials that will help to identify early predictive markers of diabetes for people with this profile. The research is producing a scientific evidence base to create opportunities for food and beverage companies in New Zealand to develop products for export to Asia to help manage risk factors which could lead to diabetes. Foster says the Challenge will invest $750,000, with the Nuku ki te Puku businesses collectively contributing a further $240,000. “The goal is to produce a prototype food product ready for commercialisation. Equally as important will be the knowledge that is transferred through collaboration,” she says. “The pilot will build on the expertise Māori businesses need to apply science to guide innovation, but also develop best practice guidance for how New Zealand science can engage with the burgeoning Māori economy.” There’s more to your food, our science can reveal it.
