Title: We Eat With Our Eyes
Presenter: Gord Howes, President
​
Summary: The colour and appearance of food has a major effect on the consumer and their buying decisions. This presentation will discuss what natural factors affect our perception and determination of colour. We will discuss how to eliminate the variable of human perception when it comes to colour determination by using mathematics and science. We will discuss the technology available to help solve these variables of perception. Attendees will leave with a basic understanding of why they should consider colour measurement as a vital component of QC and how to set up a colour QC program specific to their needs.

Vitalus Nutrition Inc.
Title: Bioactive Properties of Milk Proteins
Presenter: Isabelle M.E. Lacroix, Ph.D.
Research & Development, Product Application Specialist
Summary: Milk has long been recognized as a source of high-quality proteins based on their amino acid profile, digestibility and bioavailability. In addition to playing a wide range of nutritional and functional roles, proteins from both the casein and whey fractions of milk have also been shown to be precursors of peptides presenting a variety of biological properties. This presentation critically examines the current knowledge of health-related properties of milk proteins and discuss the challenges in validating their efficacy as well as their potential use as functional food ingredients to help promote health.
