  2. What is Success? • WHAT: Increased exports • WHY: Increased national capital • Jobs • Wealth • Economic demand • How long: Long term Sustainability • Economic • Social • Environmental

  3. HOW: Food Technology! What is that?

  4. First: Food Science is

  5. Food technology is the application of the following to Food Science Source: Institute of Food technologists

  6. Beginning—Middle—End Gearing up for Exports

  7. Begin with the End in Mind Covey’s Successful Habit #2… Literally: The distribution system Product Destination Product Quality @ Destination Product Safety @ Destination Product Demand @ Destination Product Itinerary to Destination  Gives direction for: Selection Gives Specification to: Preservation Processing Packaging 

  8. Distribution: Destination       

  9. From Distribution comes Direction For Selection US, Western Europe, Japan Western Pacific The growth of Middle Class drives demand for CPGs. Area is the source of “exotic fare”. Opportunity: Global exports Internal/Regional growth Economic dynamics* • The demand for Consumer packaged goods (CPGs) is well established. • Cultural pressures influence priorities • Convenience • Healthy Life Style • Perpetual snacking • Mix up Global cuisine • Ready for imports Slow growth Fast growth

  10. * Economic opportunity:Developing Countries# • 2.7 billion people in developing countries: • Concerned about safe & healthy food (children) • Live in remote areas, • Shop traditional stores • Buy for one day World Population #TetraPak(2012) ref. Prahalad(2004)

  11. From Selection comes Direction For others Selection Value Addition Opportunity Preservation Processing Packaging Distribution

  12. Processed in the Philippines Selection Preservation/Processing Packaging Tropical Fruits Thermally Stabilized Healthy Snack

  13. (Value-added)Product of the Philippines

  14. Processing Research • Center for Advanced Processing and Packaging Studies (CAPPs): http://fst.osu.edu/capps/index.htm • Institute of Food Technologists • Food Technology Industrial Achievement Award • Processing/Packaging Processing Systems (2009 and 2010) • USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) • $25Million study to strengthen food safety • Studying human noro-viruses across the food supply chain • Design effective control measures • Reduce the number of virus-caused foodborne illnesses

  15. Advances in Processing • Thermal Processing • Microwave Assisted Thermal Sterilization • Continuous Flow (North Carolina State University)* • Prepackaged (Washington State University)* • Pressure Assisted thermal Sterilization • Ohio State University • National Center for Food Science and Technology • Non-Thermal Processing • High Pressure Processing (Commercial) • Pulsed Electric Field (Commercial) • *IFT: Food Technology Industrial Achievement Award

  16. “ Fresh Prepared” Food • Minimally processed food • Healthy life styles • Convenience • Sustainable sourcing and product life cycle

  17. Packaging & Sanitation Enable “Fresh Prepared” Food • Sanitation • Good manufacturing practices • HACCP • Global Standards • Packaging • Contain • Protect & Preserve • Distribute • Inform/Sell Taken to new levels of excellence

  18. Case Study: I • Stand up pouches with fitments Solutions in search of a problem Available for decades Gualapack CheerPack

  19. Same food: new opportunity • Convenience for time-poor mothers of toddlers Traditional No glass chards Less mess Process - Challenging Reclosable optimized process

  20. Same Food: Distinctive Package Distinctive Package: Enhanced Experience

  21. Remaining Possibilities • Expand high acid-hot fill/low acid-thermal • Continuous Flow Microwave • High Pressure Processing • Pulsed Electric Field • Develop aseptic form/fill/seal • Tropical fruit purees • Low price point/traditional distribution

  22. Case Study: II • Global Fresh Foods (US pat No. 8,187,653 )

  23. Smart Packaging:Multi-tasking Smart Packaging:Team Player

  24. Impressive Results • 30+ days shipping/storage • 14 Day ocean transport • 14 day retail shelf life • Green Supply Chain • CO2 emissions/lb: 99% • Recycled content corrugated • Reusable packaging components • Natural gases/no preservatives

  25. In Summary • Packaging is a critical part of food technology • Food technology involves other disciplines • Packaging must work with these other parts • There are always new jobs for packaging to do! • Preservation & processing drive packaging. • Begin with Food Science • End with food safety
