  • PFNDAI Bulletin May 2010
    PFNDAI Bulletin May 2010 Editorial Food product development has been both an art as well as science and although how to match flavour or colour or texture etc. can be taught, the original idea for a new product cannot be taught. At times it comes from looking at a similar product and then thinking of a variation in flavour or ingredients. These kinds of new products have been regularly making appearance in Indian markets and we are really good at it. For a long time, until the globalisation, we only saw traditional products for decades with very little changes. Some new varieties of biscuits or savouries did make appearance in the market but it was more an exception than a rule. When our markets opened, we started seeing a large number of different snack and fast food items and it was an eye opener. Our developers started seeing different possibilities. We even got a few of these giants to Indianise their products with Indian tastes being included. After the initial ice-breaking, we saw a large number of new variations in even in traditional products like papads, farsan, khakhra, etc. However, variations like cheese flavoured papad, corn flake chivda, etc. may be called slight tweaking of the original product. We have not seen really trailblazing products appearing with bold attempts. If we look at our old traditional Indian food products, there are some amazing examples especially when we go to rural setups. The kind of chutneys and sweetmeats we see is an example. Have we forgotten our capabilities and have been only looking at the West for inspiration? We have immense diversity of resources in cereals, pulses, milks, fruits, vegetables etc.

    WINTER 2011/12 www.bgu.ac.il synergy between lab and life (page 18) from the president Dear Friends, One of the privileges of being a university president is that I often have the opportunity to meet people who I might otherwise never come across. Such was the case with Arina Shestopolov Censor, a 17-year-old high school student in Beer-Sheva, who displayed ingenuity and maturity well beyond her years during a period of Grad missile attacks on the city this August. Both the Rector Prof. Zvi HaCohen and I saw an evening news report about how she and her family reacted when a Grad missile fell adjacent to their home, leaving their safe room to tend to the wounded. We immediately decided to offer her a scholarship for her undergraduate education in recognition of her exceptional bravery and selfless commitment to helping others. I am proud to report that the BGU Student Association and our committed students were at the forefront of organizing the local response to the social justice movement that galvanized Israel this summer. Without a doubt, these kinds of actions exemplify the values that BGU stands for: a willingness to help others, an ability to think quickly and creatively, and a heartfelt desire to pursue excellence. The University is now in the midst of a building boom which we hope will position it Powered by people with a passion for learning to grow. The foundations are being laid for the new building for the Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology Engineering, as well as for the National Inspiring students to connect with Israel’s pioneering spirit Institute for Biotechnology in the Negev.
