Kursusindhold

The course is carried out as group work in teams of 3 students (optional 2 or 4 students). Each team will work on a specific product development task.
Each team will decide about the target for a novel food product to develop. The targets and the teams will be defined through brain storming sessions during the first weeks of the course. Students are advised to consider and propose ideas for novel food products to work on during the course.
Stage gate project management will be introduced and applied on the work of the project teams.
Subjects of specific relevance for food product development will be introduced by lectures given by invited experts from industry and DTU. These subjects are likely to cover sensoric analysis, consumer analysis, life cycle analysis, sustainability, process economy, packaging, food ingredients, and industrial project management.
Each team must prepare a prototype of the food product and the team prepares a report describing the key issues for the product. The key issues will include: target market, consumer acceptability, production process, product quality, cost calculation, product pricing, way of distribution etc.
The report will be prepared in the format of a manuscript for a scientific food journal or a conference proceeding.
The progress during the course will be monitored through two stage/gate meetings.
The final assessment is based on the report, an oral group presentation, and an individual oral exam.
