The University of Georgia Department of Food Science on the Griffin Campus has been busy developing new peanut products for Georgia Peanut Tour attendees to taste. During the Hot Topics Seminar on Tuesday, Dr. Yen-Con Hung and Dr. Manjeet Chinnan presented information on the Peanut Tart and the Peanut Shake Beverage Mix. This is not the first time that attendees on the Georgia Peanut Tour have been able to sample newly developed peanut products. A couple of years ago researchers brought samples of peanut butter tarts and peanut butter chips and peanut butter pasta for attendees to taste. Those sampling the products were asked to complete a short questionnaire on the product and evaluate their liking of the product. So far the responses have helped the researchers’ fine tune their products. The Department of Food Science Food Product Innovation and Commercialization (PIC) Program continues to assist companies in developing new food products.
