@SherwinRebecca @UofGFoodProf Did you know that urban food security is a huge issue in today's society? There are mechanisms in place to achieve true food security in poor urban areas. @UofGFoodProf #Food 2150 #Assignment#Osorio
@elaine_jefffs @UofGFoodProf Protein-rich nutrients can be found in other foods besides meats. Cricket powder is a source of protein available to consumers, but do the consumers accept it as a food source? There is quite a divide between those who accept it and those who don't. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150#Jones
@courtney_ivany @UofGFoodProf Did you know milk proteins are one of the most important sources of bioactive peptides? Bioactive peptides provide many health benefits such as regulating appetite and helping burn energy. #Canadianmilk#Nagpal#Food2150

@BrennaVyn @UofGFoodProf As a student studying agriculture, it is important to me that we have sustainable food to feed the world. #Hamel and many other industry leaders have completed research to make good more sustainable for the growing world population #OntAg#feedingtheworld#Food2150 @UofGFoodProf
@thomasbowman_ @ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf While some people still view fats as being bad for you, they are very beneficial in the food processing industry. Fats provide flavour perception, texture, and health characteristics for food all due to their unique physical properties. #Marangoni#food2150
@tractorbuff@nes_eric @UofGFoodProf Getting an opportunity to brew our own beer is a great opportunity to learn the value of barley and enzymes during malting. Looking forward to try the final product! Easily the best school project! #FOOD2150 @UofGFoodProf #Gupta
@UofGFoodProf farmers apply a fungicide application to their crops to prevent mycotoxins, mold and other fungal diseases. Once they harvest the crop they dry it to ~14% moisture to preserve grain quality and nutrients, ensuring a high quality crop.🌽 #Food2150#assignment#Nuss
Did you know that beer by-products are recycled? After brewing beer the by-products left over are rich in protein and fibers. The by-products can be used for a number of food applications such as cereal-based baked products. @UofGFoodProf #Gupta#Food2150#drinkbusch#crushpints
@Holly_hollz22 @UofGFoodProf Barley is the 5th largest grain produced world wide in terms of dry mater. This barley is high in protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. So why wouldn’t everyone’s favourite beer be rich in these nutrients too? #Gupta#food2150#labattblue
