Profile
Scotland Food & Drink’s primary aim is to bring everyone involved in food

Scotland Food & Drink is a unique private-public initiative, led by the
industry, supported by Government and is challenged to work across the
whole industry. The scope covers all aspects of food and drink: the drinks
industry – both alcoholic and non-alcoholic,and from small farmers to large
corporations in all corners of Scotland.

Our vision is to make Scotland internationally known as ‘The Land of Food and
Drink’ and our mission is to place Scotland amongst the top 3 of the world’s
producers of premium food & drink products. These are huge ambitions and
will have an impact across the entire food chain – from farm to fork.
Scotland Food and Drink will guide the industry, so that we can make the most
of our natural resources, the skills and energy of our businesses. Central
to our growth ambition is building a positive reputation. Scotland has some
of the best produce in the world - Scotch Beef, lamb, pork, whisky, salmon,
seafood, shortbread, water, strawberries, raspberries and so the list goes on.
To become known as Land of Food and Drink - we must tell others and self
promote. We must aim to deliver exceptional standards in all of our produce
and tell others about our clear air, pure water and traditional husbandry.
Scotland Food & Drink also aims to harness the very best thinking in supply
chain harmonisation and collaboration. That’s why we talk about Collaborative
Value Networks – a much more encompassing term than Supply Chain which
more clearly articulates the scope of our ambition and embraces processes,
communications and systems all the way from the farm to the fork.
The third area, Innovation in product, process and route to market is essential
if we want to achieve and maintain a leadership position. Scotland Food
and Drink will play a central role in defining and delivering the information
and support to help Scottish companies identify and exploit new business
opportunities.
2
Our final foundation is focused on skills. Research by authoritative sources
such as Standard and Poors, The Gronigen Institute and The University of
Surrey all show that companies and sectors who invest in skills gain higher
levels of productivity, innovation and growth in both the market and in
shareholder value. If Scotland is to compete globally, we must develop our
industry’s competency in supply chain management skills, commercialisation
skills, brand development skills and business management. And we must
ensure that we embed the knowledge, training and learning expertise within
Scottish institutions.
Scotland Food and Drink is a private limited company with funding from both
the private and public sectors. Its Board is drawn from a mixture of industry
and the public sector. Its role is to approve the strategy for the organisation.
The Executive Group is the key delivery vehicle for Scotland Food& Drink and
will work collaboratively on the key issues that impact the whole industry. The
involvement and support of its member organisations is critical. The Executive
Group consists of leaders from across the industry, and includes: QMS, NFUS,
Scottish Food & Drink Federation, SAOS, SAC, Seafish, Seafood Scotland, SDI,
Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Enterprise, Food From Britain,
Improve, Scottish Salmon Producers, The Scotch Whisky Association, The
Rowett, The Scottish Association of Master Bakers and Dairy UK.
Scotland Food & Drink is about the industry becoming responsible for its own
destiny, about it being mature enough to collaborate across sectors for the
good of all and about it being proud enough to tell the world what we are doing
so that before long we can realise our ambition of being internationally known
as ‘The Land of Food & Drink’.

One of the most common reasons given for not giving up dairy produce used to
be that there wasn’t an acceptable dairy-free alternative to cheese that really
tasted of cheese. All that changed in 1988. Bute Island Foods started making
their own Vegan hard cheeses, known as Sheese. Fast forward nineteen years
& there are now 9 flavours of hard dairy-free cheese, and 5 flavours of 100%
non-dairy cream cheese, called Creamy Sheese (all of the styles are 100%
Kosher and Pareve!)

Trade Solutions
Nestling in the hills just above Blairgowrie in Scotland is Trade Solutions
(Scotland) Ltd, long-established Scottish Soft Fruit Processors and experts in
their field.
For well over 100 years Scotland has been famous for its soft fruit
production, particularly of strawberries and raspberries and more recently,
blackcurrants. The high quality fruit growing region here in Scotland is
concentrated within a relatively small geographical area, which lends itself to
close crop control and meticulous handling during harvesting, processing and
transporting. The main growing areas are Tayside, Perthshire and Fife.
Purée and Juice products are packed in food grade lined cartons, plastic pails
with a lid (and liner on request) or in drums, and blast frozen. The cartons are
filled with 20kg of fruit just before blast freezing, and once frozen it is simply
a matter of unfolding the carton to give a single frozen block for use by the
customer after delivery.

One official stated that the water ‘so good it could be bottled straight from the
well’.
The well produces 30 million litres of water per annum from it’s 100mm bore
hole and Consultant’s opinion, subject to a full survey, is that a larger bore
hole could produce any quantity of water required. Planning has already been
granted for extraction and we also own full mineral rights.

One of the most common reasons given for not giving up dairy produce used to
be that there wasn’t an acceptable dairy-free alternative to cheese, that really
tasted of cheese. All that changed in 1988. Bute Island Foods started making
their own Vegan hard cheeses, known as Sheese.
Fast forward nineteen years and there are now 9 flavours of hard dairy-free
cheese, and 5 flavours of 100% non-dairy cream cheese, called Creamy
Sheese (all of the styles are 100% Kosher and Pareve!)

Deeside Water Company Ltd.
Deeside Mineral Water is different from others because of an unusual balance
of helpful natural characteristics. Its long history as a spa water, dating from
1760, has been supplemented by more recent analyses, proving it to be of
exceptional purity and quality.
Deeside Mineral Water comes direct from nature, flowing from the historic
Pannanich Wells near Balmoral Castle in the heart of the remote Scottish
Highlands. The water is naturally filtered for around 50 years, through
millions of pores deep within the ancient granite rock, protected from the
outside environment and acquires its unique properties, which have been
known for centuries. It then finds its way to the surface and emerges from the
artesian spring under its own pressure - as nature intended.

Paterson Arran Ltd.

Today’s wheat free recipe is also low in saturated fat (thanks to olive oil) and
high in fibre, making Paterson’s the most delicious and nutritious oatcakes
you can enjoy.
Their oatcake range is also completely free from palm oil so are orangutan friendly! Did you know that vast amounts of their rainforests are being
detroyed to make way for palm oil plantations? They could face extinction in
as little as 20 years!!! Due to this we are proud to be lifetime members of the
Orang-utan Foundation.
Over the years, we’ve indulged our passion for all things ‘oaty’ by extending
the Paterson’s range in a host of new and exciting ways.

Trade Solutions
Nestling in the hills just above Blairgowrie in Scotland is Trade Solutions
(Scotland) Ltd, long-established Scottish Soft Fruit Processors and experts in
their field.
For well over 100 years Scotland has been famous for its soft fruit
production, particularly of strawberries and raspberries and more recently,
blackcurrants. The high quality fruit growing region here in Scotland is
concentrated within a relatively small geographical area, which lends itself to
close crop control and meticulous handling during harvesting, processing and
transporting. The main growing areas are Tayside, Perthshire and Fife.
Purée and Juice products are packed in food grade lined cartons, plastic pails
with a lid (and liner on request) or in drums, and blast frozen. The cartons are
filled with 20kg of fruit just before blast freezing, and once frozen it is simply
a matter of unfolding the carton to give a single frozen block for use by the
customer after delivery.

Loch Duart
A recent study by the Department of Human Nutrition at Glasgow University
Hospital has revealed the significant health benefits of eating salmon. This
clinical study was published in 2007 in a leading medical journal. What
provoked the company’s particular interest was that all the salmon supplied
came from - Loch Duart. The study showed that, when compared with
subjects who had no fish in their diet, those who ate 125g portions of omega-3
rich farmed Atlantic salmon daily showed:
• significantly lower systolic blood pressure (i.e. the blood pressure when
the heart is in contraction), diastolic blood pressure (i.e. the blood pressure
between heart contractions) and mean blood pressure
• significantly lower blood triglyceride levels (high levels of triglycerides have
been linked to ‘hardening’ or ‘furring up’ of the arteries)
• significantly lower LDL-cholesterol (i.e. the undesirable form of cholesterol
associated with ‘furring up’ of arteries)
• significantly increase HDL-cholesterol (i.e. the desirable form of
cholesterol associated with protection against ‘furring up’ of arteries).

Lossie Seafoods operates from a modern factory custom built in 1988. In
August 1993 the factory underwent a considerable upgrade to meet the
hygiene requirements of the EU and to meet the strictures being increasingly
put upon them by their customer base. For many years previously Lossie
Seafoods Ltd processed white fish and smoked wild salmon from the local
rivers and so over a period of time an expertise was built up in the handling of
salmon and latterly with the advent of farming salmon a ready supply of raw
material came about and the emphasis of the company changed from being a
white fish operation to a salmon smoking operation principally.

Brewing and distilling – Professor Paul Hughes and Dr Fergus Priest
Heriot-Watt University is home to the International Centre For Brewing And
Distilling where all aspects of brewing and distilling research are carried out
but with particular emphasis upon beer flavour stability, physical stability,
foam stability, high gravity brewing and fermentation.
Nutrigenomics – Professor Michael Schweizer and Dr Karim Roder
Nutrigenomics, the study of diet-gene interaction, can tell us about the effect
our diet has on our genes and therefore provides scientific evidence for a
healthy diet. Lipogenesis, the process by which fatty acids are produced from
carbohydrates, is being studied at the molecular level.
Food Microbiology – Dr Susan J Dewar
Microbiology research is centred round the genetics of bacterial growth and
in particular to the effects of stressed conditions caused by food processing
on genetics of cell division in E Coli. The research teams are also investigating
DNA based detection systems for the investigation of microbial spoilage in
foods. This work aims to discover novel bacteria with highly thermoresistant
spores which can evade pasteurization and UHT treatments.
Food Processing – Dr Lydia Campbell and Dr Stephen Euston
Research is being carried out into methods for modification of the structure
of egg albumin to improve its emulsifying and water-binding properties in
emulsions, such as mayonnaise; to reduce its allergenic properties and
simplify the spray drying process.
Nutrition and Exercise – Professor James Timmons and Dr Samantha
Fawkner
The main areas of research are the response of human muscle to nutrition
and exercise, metabolism, and biological malnutrition and physical activity.
We also have a particular interest in obesity and metabolic disease, and
investigating supplements that could aid in weight loss
Key Highlights
Heriot-Watt has thrived on strong links with industrial partners and is

Microbial diagnostics is a multi-billion industry world-wide. However,
the conventional methods for pathogen detection used by industries and
regulatory agencies are expensive, labour intensive and time consuming
(3-6 days). MLURI are working on a nucleic acid based technology which
offers for the first time, at low cost, the simultaneous detection of multiple
pathogens within 5-8 hours and has the potential to revolutionise the
microbial diagnostic industry. While the technology will intially focus on
pathogen detection in food and the environment, it has wider applications
and will be attractive to healthcare, forensic and remediation industries. This
technology provides a real opportunity to make Scotland a World-leader in
microbial diagnostics and industrial microbiology.

Napier University has a long and successful track record of engaging in
knowledge transfer with the food and drink sector spanning small and
medium-sized enterprises to large, multinational corporations.
Further, this capacity has been demonstrated via successful engagements at
many points in the supply chain. The broad spectrum of engagement spans
soil preparation and the measurement of toxins in cultivated vegetables and
fruits using patented monitoring equipment, through to the psychology of
retailing and marketing.
Our key areas of expertise include
• Food and Exercise
• Food processing
• Fermentation
• Food and age
• New product design as applied to novel sensors and algorithms for
processing equipment control.
• Materials as applied to food packaging and storage.
Activity
The University is particularly noted for its KTP activity. These and other
engagements have led to improved cultivation of fruits, refined and more
efficient processing of whisky and beer production and achieved efficiencies
in the transportation and distribution of food and drink products via a logistics
support and in the psychology of retailing. Aquaculture is an increasingly
important sub-sector and the university has successfully transferred
knowledge into sector for more efficient use of food stocks. Of more recent
and very topical is the interest in the consequences of over consumption
of food coupled with insufficient exercise in all age groups. Also, within the
School of Life Sciences there is an established bio-medical monitoring unit.
3. Relevant Research Funding/Awards in Food and Health Research
• undertaken work with Diageo, Glenmorangie, Belhaven and North British
Distillers.
Key Highlights
• biomedicine and sports science research team have developed
sophisticated flow cytometry techniques to detect senescent lymphocytes and
have applied these methods to investigate the effects of physical exercise on
the immune system.
• it is believed that obesity induces the appearance of senescent cells and
therefore impacts directly on immune function. Better diets leading to weight
reduction - plus the benefit of anti-oxidants -might lead to better immune
function. Napier is developing novel biomarkers for cells which have become
senescent and unable to respond to infection.

Partner of the UHI Millennium Institute.
Our mission:
• To improve the quality of life of individuals with neurodevelopmental
disorders and other related conditions, by conducting research to discover
safer, more effective diagnostics and treatments.
• To break down the stigma that surrounds such conditions, this is frequently
more disabling than the illness itself, through the involvement of patients
and caregivers and the wide dissemination of its research findings.
Neurodevelopmental disorders and other related conditions include
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, dyspraxia,
dyslexia, depression and ADHD. Our principal area of research is in
schizophrenia and increasingly is concerned with genetics, antibodies and the
role of lipids.
The Ness Foundation is increasingly interested in the behaviour of the
digestive tract and is investigating the role that certain foods may play in the
evolution of auto-immune conditions.

We are a leading organisation in the area of functional nutrigenomics (gene/
diet interactions) and proteomics (gene products) and the emerging field of
metabolomics (metabolic products of nutrition), all of which are powerful
tools in meting emerging health trends with nutrition solutions.
Early in 2008 the Rowett research Institute will join with the University of
Aberdeen to create the single largest concentration of expertise in nutrition.
Health and diet in Scotland (and probably the UK). This will extend from
molecular biology techniques to human studies, including clinical evaluation.
Activity
The Rowett Institute undertakes a range of research focussed on
understanding how the components of the food we eat affect our health, both
positively and negatively. We have three main themes which reflect the global
issues of over- or inappropriate - nutrition:
Gut health:
nutrition and the gut, with reference to maintaining healthy commensal
bacteria populations, the nutritional role of commensal populations and the

Scottish Association for Marine Sciences (SAMS)
SAMS is focussed on multidisciplinary research relating to marine science
from aquaculture to marine biotech. SAMS hosts the Culture collection of
Algae and Protozoa which is also a library for marine bioactive compounds.
SAMS have a research group developing biosurfactants from marine bacteria
which potentially could be applied in the food industry – have identified
four particular novel emulsifiers with properties similar to (or better thenexisting commercial emulsifiers. Bioemulsifiers are microbially produced
surface-active molecules that are promising alternatives to chemically
synthesised varieties because they are natural, have potentially lower
toxicities and improved functionality (e.g. foaming, stabilisation; tolerance to
extremes of temperature and pH). This “proof of concept” programme aims
to exploit a suite of natural emulsifiers (bioemulsifiers) that show exceptional
promise as ingredients and production process agents in industries such as
healthcare and food and beverages. This project aims to significantly increase
bioemulsifier production to facilitate commercial exploitation opportunities.
Through this project they are keen to explore with interested parties
commercial uses for these bioemulsifiers.

Scottish Crop Research Institute
SCRI offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to improving the
quality of food through enhanced flavour, texture, nutritional benefits and
shelf life. A substantial part of our diet is plant based, which using modern
technology, provides an amenable target for improving nutrition.
There is currently a heightened awareness of the importance of food to health,
and SCRIs generic approach to health and nutrition has been to identify
germplasm with enhanced levels of key phytonutrients (or decreased levels of
toxins) and to deploy genetic, molecular, biochemical and phytochemical tools
to understand the inheritance and control of phytonutrient accumulation.
The key objectives are
• to understand the real functionality of specific food components in the diet
(and in food matrices) through a detailed comprehension of mechanisms)
• to enhance the content of phytonutrients (or decrease antinutrients/
allergens)
Emerging technology development in mild thermal treatment of semiprocessed fruit and vegetables to enhance shelf life and reduce nutrient
losses.

University of St Andrews
Researchers at St Andrews University have compiled a validated database of
phyto-oestrogen levels in a wide range of foodstuffs which can be accessed by
industry. There is also a facility to have phytooestrogen analysis undertaken in
plasma and food samples.
Researchers at the University of St Andrews have developed a novel method
for the synthesis of phytoestrogens (isoflavones, lignans and flavones),
phytoestrogen metabolites and novel phytoestrogens, labelled with stable
isotopes (13C, 15N, 2H). These can be used to study the health effects of
phytoestrogens, which have anti-cancer activity, via analytical, metabolic and
bioavailability studies.

Dietary modification to include significantly more high fibre plant-based foods
like soy, whole meal bread, and certain fruits and vegetables may protect
against certain cancers and even improve chances of surviving the disease.
Phyto-oestrogens (isoflavones and lignans), attach themselves to cells
(like breast tissue) that have estrogen receptors, blocking more powerful
oestrogens from binding to the site and therefore may decrease the total
amount of estrogen circulating in the body which could be beneficial because
high circulating levels of oestrogens can be associated with increased risk of
certain cancers. Increasing the amount of phyto-oestrogens in a diet could
potentially decrease the risk of developing breast or prostate cancer.
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that can mimic the natural
hormone estrogen and are thought to protect against hormone dependent
cancers, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and the effects of the
menopause. The major dietary source of isoflavones is soya, soya-related
products, whole-grain cereals, legumes and various vegetables and fruit.
In addition, glucosinolates are also plant-derived compounds, present in
cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli. There is growing
evidence to suggest their metabolites are active in the prevention of colorectal
cancer.
