Two undergraduate teams from the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences will put their food creations to the test in student competitions.
Every summer, the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) attracts the cream of the global food science crop to Chicago for four days of exhibitions, presentations and competitions. At IFT18, held July 15-18, two undergraduate teams from 成人VR视频鈥檚 Faculty of Agricultur[al] and Environmental Sciences will put their food creations to the test in student competitions.
MacFoodies鈥� multi-purpose grain mix Morinmiro can be used to make a number of traditional Somali dishes including Garow, a cereal dish made with sorghum, sugar, and goat鈥檚 milk; Anjero, a flatbread prepared with corn flour and water; and Fuud, a grits dish made with corn grits and water.
The students met in Prof. Salwa Karboune鈥檚 Food Product Development course (FDSC 405) during the Fall 2017 semester. After the course finished, they formed extracurricular teams 鈥� named MacFoodies and UglyHarvest 鈥� to develop products for consideration at this year鈥檚 IFT. Prof. Karboune mentored both teams through the design, manufacturing and testing processes.
