fiogf49gjkf0d Three B Tech [Food Technology and Management (FTM)] students of the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM) - Tushar Kaushik, Shardul Dabir and Yash Naresh Gajwani - showcased flax, millet and pulse (FMP) chips in The LovePulses Product Showcase at the Institute of Food Technology (IFT) Expo in Chicago, which was attended by 23,000 food scientists, technologists, agriculturalists and foodies.
The showcase was co-organised by Pulse Canada, the American Pulse Association, USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council and the Global Pulse Confederation to promote the winners of the national and virtual competitions. The trio’s idea earned the appreciation of a number of organisation including IPGA, MCCHE Canada, FCC Canada, USDPLC USA and the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST).
In honour of the United Nations designation of 2016 as the International Year of Pulses, countries around the world help competitions encouraging the development of food products containing pulses as core ingredients. The LovePulses Product Showcase represented some of the top innovations created by individuals and teams of students from all corners of the globe.
The NIFTEM team was the winner from India. The winners of the LovePulses Product Showcase were given the opportunity to share their stories with the world. Given the importance of their work in saving the environment and maximising food security around the world, The Huffington Post published five of the winners’ blogs. This included Kaushik’s blog, titled How Pulses Can Help Us Combat Malnutrition in South Asia.
The NIFTEM team will compete at Food Science Students Fighting Hunger - IUFoST Product Development Competition, which will be organised by IUFoST in Dublin, Ireland.
