Product Development
The development of
novel food products requires the application of basic food
chemistry, engineering, microbiology, and marketing principles.
The team is generally composed of undergraduate and graduate
students (all are welcome to join) who over a ~10 month time
span, progress through the various stages of product development,
which can include: idea generation (concept development and
evaluation), prototype development (encompassing: ingredient
functionality, profitability analysis, process development,
HACCP, sensory evaluation, etc.), and final product optimization.
The team submits the final product concept in the form of
a report with or without the finished product to one or more
competitions throughout the year.
Depending upon the competition, a poster and/or an oral presentation
may
also be required. Participating on the team allows for students
to gain a
better understanding about what is required to develop a food
product and to
foster lasting relationships with peers, as well as in the
food industry.
The following pictures depict the
accomplishments of previous NCSU product
development teams.
