Hey Everyone,

So the last couple of weeks have been pretty tough trying to get the final product perfect for showcasing day. There has been a few changes however the product is almost there is delicious with fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and stewed apple all incorporated into the smoothie Even though my product is aimed at the elderly consumer i know you guys will love it also :) :)

Talk Soon,

Chloe

The recipe for the muffins are just the way i want them to be now! Must start focusing on the showcase that will be on the 25th of April in the Tourism and Leisure building in WIT, between 11 am and 1 pm.

Hello everyone my name is Blánaid and I am a final year student studying a BSc(Hons) in Food Science and Innovation at Waterford Institute of Technology.

As part of my course this semester, I am currently in the process of developing a range of homemade artisan style chutneys. Flavours include butternut squash and curry chutney and apple and date chutney. Over the course of the semester I will post weekly updates of the progress I am making in the development of the product.

This the first attempt I made at making chutney. It was the first time I had made chutney and I am pleased to say it came out very well. It was a little bit too spicy so I will be making it again next week and hopefully have it perfected very soon.

I will post another update in the next week. 

Talk soon 

As the weeks are progressing the happier I am, that the product is coming together! This week the muffins turned out great. There needs to be more work done on the flavours but the muffin base is perfect.

I tested the protein content in the muffins this week, there is approximately 6 grams of protein per 100 grams when I converted the nitrogen into protein. This was done in duplicate and the two tubes looked different, as seen below (the two tubes to the left). This could be from using different amounts of sodium hydroxide during the experiment.
