A Note from the Past Editor

(continued)

My last editorial was in regard to “Change.” I am a tremendous advocate of uniqueness, variety, and most importantly “Change.”

As the economy continues to improve, the world of Food & Beverage flourishes. My company, The Intrinsic Group, has become exceedingly busy. It is a very exciting time! Innovation is again being embraced by companies that, until recently, needed to place newness and creativity on hold.

Because Intrinsic is a new product incubator, and my passion is in providing our clients with exceptional guidance, I am feeling that my time as The Hornblower editor must come to an end.

It has been a privilege to act as a conduit to the NCIFT readership. The knowledge and relationships that I have garnered through this role have been phenomenal.

I leave it in the capable hands of the executive committee to determine the direction of The Hornblower leadership moving forward.

Susan Howe is the owner of “The Intrinsic Group, Inc.” A full service R&D firm. Susan can be reached at [email protected].

DESIGN, PRINTING & BUSINESS MANAGERMarketing Designs 650.802.0888

I am happy to announce that I am the new editor for The Hornblower. First I want to thank Susan Howe for her service as editor of The Hornblower over the past couple of years. Her tireless efforts were greatly appreciated.

For those of you who don’t know me, I have been involved with NCIFT since the early 1980s. My emphasis for years has been on the students from all the universities in our section – UC Davis, Fresno State University, and San Jose State University, although I might have to admit a little prejudice since I was employed by UC Davis for over 40 years, as the Food Science librarian and then as the Undergraduate Academic Advisor for the Food Science major. I retired in 2009, but stayed active in the section and am now just finishing my year as past-Chair of the section. It seems like I can’t fully retire yet.

As I already said, my emphasis has always been on the students. I have been impressed with IFT’s strong Student Association and that IFT is so supportive of the students. That is the main reason I joined the organization in the first place. I hope to continue this emphasis as editor. I will be encouraging students from all of the schools to submit articles on their current activities. Please see the article in this issue (pg.5) announcing that UC Davis has won the Pacific West Regional College Bowl competition recently held at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Congratulations and good luck at the annual meeting in Chicago in July!

And, since life-long learning is so important, also please see the article on the Food Defense Training workshops coming to NCIFT (pg. 6). Bruce Ferree, who was involved in the development of a new software tool, was able to make sure that NCIFT could take advantage of FDA funds available for training industry members.

And, of course, one of our most important events of the year is coming up – the golf tournament and Supplier’s Night. Stacey Hawley, Marty Potnick and Dave Sholty have been working very hard to make this event a success. Please seriously consider attending.

And finally, if you have any comments or suggestions regarding future issues of The Hornblower, please feel free to contact me ([email protected]). It might also be interesting to bring back “Letters to the Editor.” Anyone interested?

From The Editor’s Desk by Carol Cooper

MAGAZINE OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF FOOD TECHNOLOGISTS

Carol Cooper, Hornblower Editor, Past Chair of NCIFT, UC Davis (retired).


Chair’s Message from Earl Weak

The NCIFT programs this spring promise to be very rewarding to all who attend. A meeting with AACT (candy technologists) is scheduled for April 11, and the speaker is Brian Dunning, Director of QA for Blue Diamond. The Suppliers’ Night and golf outing is scheduled for May 6 and 7. The meeting the last week in May will be concerned with the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA). FDA will be present to describe a software program that will make compliance easier. The first meeting will be in Pleasanton and the second one will be in Fresno. More details are in the FSMA story in this Hornblower edition.

The Annual Meeting and Student Recognition Banquet at Davis was on February 21. NCIFT presented a check to the Food Science Graduate Student Association for the upcoming college bowl contest. NCIFT also gave Marie and William Cruess Scholarships to Elaine Chow and Merek Chang (see photo). I would like to congratulate all the students receiving awards.

Hornblower editor, Susan Howe, is resigning to spend more time on other projects. I would like to thank Susan for her service as Hornblower editor and for her service doing other NCIFT jobs. Carol Cooper volunteered to be the new editor. She welcomes other volunteers.

March was Science Fair Month, and NCIFT members visited a number of science fairs and judged food related projects. These young people consistently develop interesting and creative projects. I would like to thank the following people for judging: Dale Olds, Kathy Kennedy, Carl Anderson and daughter Colleen, Russ Nishikawa, Jerry Oliveras, Brian Chau, Emmerleen Bassiana, Jyotsna Bhatt, Lisa Rosenberg, and Erin Evers.

Calendar of Events


by John Frelka

After a long and exhausting drive from Davis to Corvallis, with a short side trip to Portland, the UC Davis College Bowl team has returned from the Beaver State as two-time Pacific West Regional Champions!

The IFTSA Pacific West Area Meeting started out on Friday, April 5 with a welcome dinner at Woodstock’s Pizza. On Saturday we were provided with breakfast followed by presentations. After a brief history of Oregon State University, each of the chapters gave a brief presentation on what we have all been up to over the past year. The Pacific West Area of IFTSA includes UC Davis, Fresno State, Oregon State, Washington State/University of Idaho and the newest addition to the region, University of British Colombia.

We were then treated to two speakers: Dawn Merrill, R&D Manager at Kerr Concentrates and OSIFT Chair, who spoke about her career path and involvement in IFT, and Dr. Sarah Cunningham, Adjunct Faculty in Anthropology at Western Oregon University and founder of the OSU Emergency Food Pantry who gave us a history of how she helped establish the Pantry. After the speakers, we helped the OSU Food and Fermentation Science Club repack 4 pallets of frozen cauliflower into individual packages for the Food Pantry.

Finally we started the highly anticipated College Bowl competition. Our team dominated, winning all four of our rounds without fail. This victory (our second in as many years) takes us to the National competition at the IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo on Chicago this summer. The current team consists of our Captain, Keren Kles, Rebecca Johnson,

Kevin Wong, Mailyne Nguyen, Anissa Liu and me. Additional team members are David Phinney, Stephen Young and Max Vanmuijen. We will be practicing even harder to try to bring home a victory! Special thanks to the UC Davis Department of Food Science and Technology and NCIFT for their generous donations which allowed us to rent a van and pay for our hotel rooms.

John Frelka is a Graduate Student in Food Science & Technology and President of the Brewing Club.

by Erin Evers

When I started the NCIFT New Professionals group last year, I wanted to build the New Professionals community, a special group for recent graduates and individuals with fewer than 10 years in the food science profession. One of my goals was to establish a stronger relationship between the new professionals and food science students. Thanks to New Professional Anna Caroselli and the student leaders at UC Davis, I’m happy to report that the first annual NCIFT New Professionals joint event with UC Davis students was a smashing success!

The UC Davis Food Tech Club, FSGSA, and Brewing Students were great

hosts. They put up welcome signs so we wouldn’t get lost! The event started with a tour of the August A. Busch III Brewing and Food Science Laboratory. We saw the winery and brewery, as well as a food processing pilot plant, milk processing laboratory, classroom and an analytical laboratory. The brewery is an authentic, reduced-scale facility donated and installed by Anheuser Busch.

After the tour, we moved into the Q&A session with 4 fabulous New Professionals on a panel with moderator Lisa Rosenberg (Project Leader, Safeway) expertly fielding questions from students. The panel consisted of a cross-section of industry representatives,

New Professionals Joint Event with UC Davis students


Food Defense Training Coming To NCIFTby Bruce Ferree

FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is finally moving forward with proposed regulations. The proposed update in the GMPs, the proposal for the preventive controls for food safety, and the proposed produce safety rules have been published. These are all proposed regulations and nothing is final yet. Still, it is important to stay up to date with all these changes coming our way. Another item that will soon be addressed by FSMA is protection against intentional contamination, or a Food Defense plan.

To this end, FDA is expected to release in early April a Food Defense Plan Builder tool. The Food Defense Plan Builder is a user-friendly tool designed to help owners and operators of food facilities develop a personalized food defense plan. This tool is expected to be available for download from the FDA website, just like the CARVER + Shock tool (a risk-assessment tool which helps food processors protect their products from deliberate contamination) has been. Once downloaded from the FDA website, it will reside only on the users’ computers. FDA will not track or monitor

its use and does not have access to any content or documents saved using this tool. FDA is providing assistance to our industry with this free tool.

An NCIFT member, Bruce Ferree, was lucky enough to be involved in the development of this tool, reviewing early versions for completeness and ease of use. Bruce found that the FDA and the software developer have set aside funds for training industry members across the US and the world on how to use this tool. Being impressed with the tool, Bruce and a team of NCIFT members have gathered to bring this training to northern California. Please keep your eyes and ears open for more information about these upcoming training sessions. The first will be Tuesday, May 28 in Pleasanton and another presented at Fresno State University on Thursday, May 30. These are all day training classes where you will learn the ins and outs of Food Defense and how to use this Food Defense Plan Builder tool to create a Food Defense Plan for your plant.

The tool walks the user through all the areas involved in Food Defense by asking questions that, when answered completely, become the basis for the

facility Food Defense Plan. Developed similarly to an Excel spreadsheet with several tabs, when completed, the last tab is a written Food Defense Plan for that facility. It is simple to understand, to use, and to maneuver within. Bruce believes that every food safety and regulatory person in northern California’s food industry will find the tool most helpful and is glad that FDA is coming to provide the training for industry.

The target audience for the training classes is food safety and quality leaders who are not just manufacturers, but also growers and packers. Regulators and consultants are, of course, welcome, too. FDA and the developers also expect that educators will find the tool helpful in teaching food defense to university food science and technology majors. You will soon be hearing more about registration details and fees for these classes. Keep your eyes open for more information about this event that we’re lucky to have in northern California.

including Michelle Moy (Food Technologist, Del Monte Foods), Daryl Neal, Jr. (QA Manager, New Horizon Foods), Peter Ferstl, Ph.D. (Process Engineer, National Food Lab), and Jennifer Sutton (Applications Scientist, Hilmar Ingredients).

Students asked questions such as, “Should I get an advanced degree or try to find a job after I graduate?” and “What kinds of things are you looking for on a resume?” and “If I have a choice between a summer internship or a summer job, what kinds of things should I consider and why?”

The discussions continued well after the panel concluded, with conversations and networking between students and new professionals! Thank you to NCIFT for supporting this event and supplying the food and beverage. Looking forward to repeating this event next year!

Student Recognition Banquet – Industry Professionals Share Experience and Advice

by BreeAnn Crofts

On February 21, NCIFT students at UC Davis and members of the food industry came together for the Student Recognition Banquet. Students had the opportunity to be paired with members of the industry. Through this opportunity students were able to learn about experiences their industry members have had and also were able to receive advice for their future endeavors.

I was fortunate enough to be paired with a member of the National Food Lab, so I learned of the versatility of their lab. As a sensory scientist, Dawn Chapman, told me of a variety of techniques she developed for various products she has worked with. It truly expanded my knowledge of what is out there in the industry.

During dinner, I was at a table with fellow students, industry members, and professors. The conversations were most stimulating because not only did I get to hear tales from veterans of the food industry, but I also got to hear from my peers about their experiences.

After dinner, we all turned our eyes to the podium where the presidents of the Brewing Club, Food Tech Club, and Food Science Graduate Students Association presented activities and events their organizations have

been a part of. Afterwards, scholarship recipients were recognized. A new scholarship was given this year in honor of John Bruhn and his work in Dairy Science at UC Davis. It was awarded to Ting Lin.

We then heard from the keynote speaker, Marty Gil from

GNT USA. Gil, a graduate of UC Davis, told us about his experiences at his company that processes and develops food ingredients from edible fruits and vegetables. His speech not only referenced experiences that many students could relate to, but it assured students that there is the opportunity out there to make something of yourself in the food industry.

The huge event that the Food Tech Club has been preparing for on April 20 is Picnic Day at UC Davis, an all-day event where students showcase the campus. This year the Food Science department will be participating in the Picnic Day parade and also will be giving tours of some of the state of the art facilities at the Robert Mondavi Institute.

BreeAnn Crofts is the Food Tech Club President and is a third-year Food Science and Technology student at UC Davis. She can be contacted at [email protected].

Clark Pest Control will customize a pest management program to target and

control the pest problems, or infestations, unique to your business – whether those

invaders come in the form of stored product pests, crawling or fl ying insects,

rodents, even birds or bats. We’ll tailor our services to your needs, rather than offer

you a one-size-fi ts-all approach.

Give us a call today, and Clark Pest Control’s licensed, experienced technicians

will inspect your facility – thoroughly – to locate any and all trouble spots. Once

we have your pest picture in sharp focus, we’ll explain your options for controlling

those pests, along with whatever actions may be necessary. We’ll also provide a

comprehensive written estimate that lists all problems we discover, along with the

treatments we recommend.
