NFA offers food training course
MANILA, Philippines - The Food Development Center (FDC) of the National Food Authority will conduct a training course on Accelerated Shelf Life Testing of Food Products at the FDC Compound, FTI Complex, Taguig City on Dec. 5-7, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
FDC designed the training course to help food industries develop a capability to predict shelf life of different food products at a relatively short time.
The course is composed of 10 hours of lecture-discussions and eight hours of practical work.
The lectures will focus on the principles of shelf life testing – its definition, kinetics and methods based on acceleration by temperature increase and moisture gain in packaging of foods.
The workshop will involve design of shelf life tests for specific food products.
Dr. Jocelyn M. Sales, the principal resource speaker, is the chief of the Technology Development Division of the FDC.
She is a food scientist by profession and in-charge of the research and development, shelf life testing and thermal process establishment.
Dr. Sales obtained her Ph.D. on Food Science from the University of Georgia and her Master’s Degree in Food Science and Bachelor of Science in Food Technology from the University of the Philippines in Los Baños, Laguna.
