| Applications Lab Update by Katy Lees | |
 As mentioned in the last Applications Lab update, we are looking forward to the upcoming IFT 2011 in New Orleans on June 11th - June 14th. We have finalized our new prototypes that we will be showing at this year's meeting. Some of our prototypes that we will be presenting are focusing on protein snacks, foods for healthy aging and using yogurt as an ingredient. Please stop by the DMI booth (# 6139) to try them. Also registration is still open for the pre-conference short course- Ingredient Applications for Product Innovation and Consumer Health, Dr. Phil Tong will be one of the speakers. More informaton on this can be found at: http://www.am-fe.ift.org/cms/?pid=1000997.
We enjoyed hosting our 23rd Annual Industry Cheese Short course on March 22-25. We had a great turn out mostly by many larger cheese companies. We would like to thank them for participating in our course this spring.
We look forward to many more participants in the future Farmstead and Industry Cheese Short Courses.
Exciting and new Innovations are being created in the Applications Lab. We are working on new advances in the application of novel dairy products/ingredients and are looking forward to future applications for protein and nutrient value added products.
We are excited to be assisting a variety of product developers with some new applications for dairy products and ingredients. We are glad to be of assistance to the industry and small business product developers here on the West Coast. We look forward to assisting with many more innovative projects throughout the year. Please visit the Applications section of our website at: http://www.calpoly.edu/~dptc/dairy_product_prototypes.html for a list of all our formultions. |
