Executive Brief
Food With Benefits Limited is a Hong Kong-based food-tech startup specializing in the conversion of surplus and "imperfect" fruits into functional, nutrient-dense smoothie powders. Their core business model leverages freeze-drying technology and in-house formula development to address food waste while providing high-bioavailability nutrition. They operate both as a consumer brand and a B2B private-label developer.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 42 (General Research / Engineering)
Why this Score? While Food With Benefits is not a direct consumer of semiconductor-grade diamond, they operate in the "Food-Tech" space where Food Safety, Purity Sensing, and Sustainable Processing are paramount. 6C’s Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) technology offers a "Green Tech" solution for electrochemical sensing and water treatment that aligns perfectly with their mission of sustainability and health.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrient & Contaminant Sensing | BDD Electrochemical Electrodes | BDD electrodes provide the widest electrochemical potential window, allowing for the detection of trace pesticides, heavy metals, or specific antioxidant concentrations in fruit slurries with 10x sensitivity over standard sensors. |
| Sustainable Sanitization | BDD Water Treatment Cells | Generate In-Situ Ozone (O3) and Hydroxyl Radicals (·OH) from water to sanitize fruit and processing equipment without adding harsh chemical residues (Chlorine-free), supporting their "clean label" promise. |
| Processing Efficiency | PCD-Coated Tooling | Direct PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) coating on industrial grinder blades and slicers used for fibrous fruit processing. Reduces downtime for blade replacement and prevents metallic micro-contamination in the powder. |
| High-Purity R&D | 9N Purity H2 Generators | For their in-house labs or private label development, 6C’s hydrogen generators provide ultra-high purity gas required for advanced analytical chromatography (GC-FID) used to verify nutritional profiles. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As you scale your upcycling of surplus fruits, how are you currently validating the absence of trace pesticides or heavy metals across diverse sourcing locations, and have you considered BDD-based electrochemical sensing for real-time purity monitoring?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help Food With Benefits eliminate chemical sanitizers from your production line by using Diamond-based electrochemical oxidation, aligning your manufacturing process with the 'clean and sustainable' promise of your final product."
