It was your vote that counted

With around £2M funds available, members recently voted for which research projects they want us to carry out through 2012 and beyond. The following projects will start in January 2012:

• An integrated approach to sensory evaluation of product and packaging
• Better package seals for reducing product waste
• Food safety risks associated with pathogens recently linked to foods
• Good Agricultural Practice and sustainable food production
• How do product health claims influence consumer choice?
• Impact of product reformulation on microbiological stability
• Improving process control for reducing energy use in food production
• Next generation techniques for ensuring product safety
• Product reformulation - replacement of hard fats and oils

More details on these and on-going projects will be available soon in our Research Programme 2012 document to be published in January. These projects complement fifty or so existing projects to make up our Research Programme. Members are able to access summaries of existing projects in the R&D Summaries section of our website (for which they will need their member username and password). For more established projects, members can also obtain copies of the full R&D Reports via the website or via our autoresponder system – for a full list of R&D reports available via the autoresponder, send an e–mail to auto@campdenbri.co.uk with the subject line: send index
