Miscellaneous

Apart from my Assigned tasks like Factory Layout,HACCP,GMP/GHP ,Marketing and Gantt/Timesheet, I made sure that I understood the basics of all the other tasks assigned to the group as a whole.

• For the group sensory tasting experiments,I learned how to use the Compusense Software with the help of Harrison,who was in charge of it.Played a vital role in ensuring that enough products were produced for all tasting sessions,designed/printed and distributed posters around the university and served assessors for all the sensory experiments conducted.
• Learned from Vicky how the optimisation and screening experiments were done.
• Even though Lin and Shujuan were responsible for the process and equipment flowchart,when I had asked them to submit their work to compile in the report,I found that most of the machines were not relevant and that pictures/specfications etc were not mentioned at all. So I worked on it,finding which equipment will be relevant to the process we have and also worked out the number of such machines that will be required in the industrial scale production.
• Me and Vicky worked on the final editing of the report for Unit 3 after considering the flaws we had in the previous reports.
• Researched and learned from Mekala on how the Shelf life studies were done.
• The team had decided on doing vacuum packaging for the large scale production of our product but after doing my share of research I found that it was MAP that would be suitable for our product and not vacuum.Found a lot of literature reviews and passed them to her so that she could use them for report writing.
