Synopsis:
“It is a sad reflection that we know more about the temperature inside the stars than inside asoufflé.” N. Kurti
To many people, preparation of food is more of an art than a science. This talk aims to introduce attendees to food engineering, it is s a multidisciplinary field which combines science, microbiology, and chemical engineering education for food and related industries. The attendees will be able to learn about the principles behind commercial ice-cream production, and how new flavors are being developed and tested. This will be followed by a hands-on session for DIY ice cream flavors.
This is also the inaugural event for IET Singapore Women’s Network to encourage female engineer to explore STEM subjects.
