项目摘要

National Pasta Corp. (NPC), located in Cambridge Ontario, is a producer of Italian pasta. NPC is launching a new line of "high protein" food products (drinks) for two growing, international, health-conscious market segments; 1) Strength & Fitness; and 2) Senior Healthcare. ****High protein food products fall under the category of functional foods (or "super foods"), in which foods are enhanced to have an elevated nutrient profile for different applications, for example to aid proper diet and weight management, to naturally increase muscle or sports performance, or to manage digestive health or clinical nutrition in older patients. However, balancing the flavour, texture and appearance of a new health food product is challenging because of effect of adding functional ingredients (whey protein isolate, sucrose, erythritol, acetic acid (flavour), ascorbic acid (stability) to enhance the nutritional profile and shelf-life of the product.****The research team at Conestoga College's Institute for Food Processing Technology (IFPT) will conduct experiments to refine the formulation for a high protein drink to optimize the flavour, texture and appearance, fine tune the pasteurization conditions, and evaluate the shelf stability of the pasteurized drinks. National Pasta will benefit through increased sales into fitness and health food sector markets; expansion into a new production facility; and creation of new employment opportunities for production staff. ****

位于安大略省剑桥的国家意大利面公司（NPC）是意大利面食的生产商。 NPC推出了新的“高蛋白”食品（饮料）系列，用于两个不断增长的，国际，健康意识的市场细分市场； 1）力量与健身； 2）高级医疗保健。 ****高蛋白食品属于功能性食品（或“超级食品”）的类别，在该类别中，可以增强食物，以增加营养成分的养分升高，例如有助于适当的饮食和体重管理，以自然增加肌肉或运动表现，或者在老年患者中管理消化系统健康或临床营养。但是，由于添加功能成分（乳清蛋白分离株，蔗糖，甲基葡萄球菌，乙酸（风味），抗坏酸酸（稳定），平衡新健康食品的风味，质地和外观）是具有挑战性的，这是具有挑战性的高蛋白质饮料可以优化质地，微调巴氏杀菌条件，并评估巴氏杀菌饮料的货架稳定性，将通过增加适应性和健康食品市场的销售来受益。
