Happy New Year!
Our return after this wonderful break was full of a motivating exprience and real-life examples.
A Quality Management Representative from Al Taghziah Group came over and joined our science adventures in a breathtaking, thorough yet scientific speech.
Ms. Lena Susan Halabi came o
ver and joined our Club sharing with us her scientific knowledge on "Science of Food". She highlighted the differences between heat and cold processing as well as canning and vacuum packaging.
Ms. Halabi then talked about Quality Concepts in food processing and handling, and how to optimize foods in terms of nutritional value, cost and sustainability; not forgetting the sensory analysis.
At the end, she concluded that "the mission of a food scientist is to use the scientific knowledge to develop the industry in a safe, nutritious, environment friendly, and cost effective way; so that people of the world can have access to a wholesome food supply".
During all her Power Point Presentation, Ms. Halabi shared with us some real-life examples based on her experiences at Al Taghziah.
She also had two videos to share with us relating to the processing and packaging of food items at this institution.
Teachers commented that the presentation was so scientific yet smooth and student friendly.
Whereas our "Venturers" were so excited and motivated to share some of their knowledge with Ms. Halabi.
Christopher was inquiring about many details and sharing with us his own facts, whereas Nicholas was asking about some scientific infos and Sarah was listening curiously.
Thank you all for making this presentation such a wonderful experience and a positive input to our Club.
