22 Jan 2019 --- Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), have developed an all-natural food stabilizer from the seeds of the durian fruit. The durian, a thorny fruit known for its unique taste and smell, is popularly dubbed the King of Fruits in Southeast Asia. Its seeds (about 3-4 cm in diameter) are normally thrown away after the flesh is consumed, but using a patented technique to harvest the thick gum from the seeds, an NTU team has shown that it could be repurposed for use as a natural food stabilizer.
