  • Danone, Bulgaria
    Reference card DANONE, BULGARIA DANONE Sofia, BULGARIA Danone was founded by Isaac Carasso in Barcelona in 1919. He introduced yogurt as a product widely recognized for its health benefits in the Balkans, yet unknown in Spain at the time. Clearly Danone was committed to healthy eating from the very start! Isaac named the new brand after his son Daniel, whose nickname in Catalan was “Danon”. Ten years later, Daniel himself rolled out the brand in France. To win over consumers, he emphasized the health benefits but also worked hard to ensure that Danone yogurt tasted better than rival brands. Today Danone is an international company which has a presence on all continents. The group holds top positions in the healthy food sector through four businesses: Fresh Dairy Products, Early Life Nutrition, Waters, and Medical Nutrition. Its mission is to bring health through food to as many people as possible. Danone has over 190 production plants and around 104,000 employees.

Yogurt is a magic product. Known and renowned for its qualities based on common popular wisdom, it has become part of nutrition habits that date back to several thousands of years. This magical status comes from its lactic ferments, probiotics and essential nutritional ingredients that are part of its make-up and allow for proper storage. While it is a fully natural product, it is also a highly scientific food that can be consumed every day and that can even be suitable for lactose mal digesters. It contains a cocktail of essential nutrients of which proteins, vitamins and numerous minerals such as calcium and potassium. Once tasted and then consumed, it main site of action is located at the level of the gut flora or microbiota.

  • Family Papers
    Salem family visiting the Jewish cemetery of Salonica, 1917 In one of the photographs, Esther and her mother stand to the left of Sa’adi’s tomb, their eyes obscured by their wide-brimmed hats. To the right of the tomb stand two men, one wearing a fez, the other a large kippah and a traditional Salonican robe. Each holds a prayer book, and the latter rests his arm against the tomb. In all likelihood, they are honadjis, cemetery guides, hired to lead the Salems in prayer. It may be that the Salem men didn’t feel comfortable navigating traditional mourning prayers and rituals on their own (Ascher’s grandson confirms that his grandfather was not observant), or their patronage of the men was a small act of charity, a way of supporting the cemetery and its workers. To the left of the two men stands Esther’s young brother, Michael, in profile, his face obscured by a tear in the negative. The damaged image also removes some of the assembled from sight, though the full group of family members appears in a second image. Stretched out behind them is the expanse of Salonica’s Jewish cemetery, hundreds of thousands of tombs scattered across a hillside. Beyond the cemetery’s grounds, animals graze in empty fields. The Hebrew-language epitaph on Sa’adi’s grave is only partially visible in the Salem family’s photograph. It appears in full in a 1931 book on the Jewish cemetery of Salonica: He who lies [here] in refuge was the chief poet who composed several poems for the visit of the sultan and his entourage [in 1859] and songs 60 to be sung for Purim and many Jewish hymns in praise of the Almighty, pleasant melodies for Israel.

  • Sensory Characteristics and Classification of Commercial and Experimental Plain Yogurts
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by K-State Research Exchange SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AND CLASSIFICATION OF COMMERCIAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PLAIN YOGURTS by MARISSA BROWN B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores Chambers Department of Human Nutrition Abstract This research aimed to determine the sensory characteristics of commercially-available plain yogurts and examine how three "more sustainable" prototypes compared. Three experimental non-fat set-style yogurts were provided – one control and two samples that differed in fermentation time. These shortened fermentation times could result in energy reductions and potentially substantiate a “sustainable” marketing claim, a concept gaining traction with consumers. Twenty-six commercially-available yogurts varying in percent milk fat, milk type (organic or conventional), and processing (set- style, stirred, or strained/Greek-style) were also included. Using descriptive sensory analysis, a six-person highly-trained panel scored the intensity of 25 flavor, six texture, four mouthfeel, and two mouthcoating attributes on a 15-point numerical scale. Three replications were conducted, and all samples were tested at least 10 days prior to the end of their shelf-lives. The samples differed for 19 flavor and all texture, mouthfeel, and mouthcoating attributes. Cluster analysis indicated approximately seven flavor and five texture (texture, mouthfeel, and mouthcoating combined) clusters, resulting in 15 unique combinations of flavor and texture. Although no legal definitions exist for “sustainable,” the prototypes’ sensory characteristics were comparable to those of top- selling yogurts indicating potential market viability.
