NFSC 320: Science of Food

 Skill Area: General Nutrition

Assignment Title: Product Development Project

What I learned:  In this assignment I learned how to develop a food product through scientific method and application of food science principles.  It was a long process, but the end result was very interesting.  Through many trials and errors my group and I were able to come up with a product that was accepted by some of the public.    

Reflection to assignment:  I really enjoyed doing this project.  This was the only time in my college courses where I got to apply my food science skills and create a food product accepted by the public.

Relevance to the profession:  With a nutrition degree I am capable of working in the food product development field.  This is something that I have been interested in and I feel as though this assignment has helped further my knowledge about the topic.
