Acrylamide Patents, Global Partners, $$$$Commercial Plant.....The real PR DEAL..........................
"you write that they are doing a PR tour....There is ONE positive spin on that.....they would not do such a PR tour WITHOUT real sales done or at least a partner signed up."

Hi europe10,
I have to agree with you....many here, including yourself have followed this story for many years. This company has been developing and finding their niche since 2003... Looks like they have found it in a POSITIVE WAY.
Looking back over the last twelve months the company has released some significant news releases and a lot has transpired. Therefore they have a lot they can talk about on there PR tour.
Healthy Regards, Tommer3

Currently, several international food ingredient companies are in various stages of conducting tests to confirm the effectiveness of Functional Technologies' proprietary AR yeast in baked products. Based on results to date, the company considers the strategy to partner with at least one global producer to accelerate the commercialization of its AR yeast technology would be the most effective way to achieve the corporate objectives of its business model.
(PR - Several tests are well underway with Large Global Producers. This is with yeast reducing technology in the Baked goods. I am sure they have been tongue tided with (None Disclosure Agreements) but suggests they are close to having a partner to announce. This is a hint that commercialization of the AR Yeast Technology is not too far off.)
