__ 2nd Week Meeting Summary & Gantt Chart (18 -25 July ,Stage IV) __ During this week, we had a meeting with the supervisor to discuss the results we got from the experiment (repeat the optimisation experiment) with the 18 assessors (it was conducted on 14th and 15th of July). In addition, we discussed over the shelf life experiment (design of the experiment and some factors we should consider) and about the packaging material. We decided that we will use glass bottles covered by aluminium foil to store both our product and the commercial one in order to conduct the shelf life experiment. Furthermore, after combing all the results we had till this stage, we came up with two samples (different combinations on kiwi juice % and cow’s yogurt %, sugar and water was constant). Thus, the commercial test was conducted with 4 products where 2 of them were our product and the other two were orange and multifruit yogurt drink (brand ‘ACTIMEL’). The same day of conducting the commercial test, we tested the pH and the solid content of both of our samples and of one of the commercial product (orange yogurt drink) as well. We keep some samples at 4 °C and continued the measurements for the next two days in order to have an idea of how pH is changed comparing to the commercial product, before starting the shelf life experiment. At the end of the week, we had a second meeting with the supervisor where the results of the commercial test were discussed. Also, at a group meeting, the work for writing the report was divided and we decided that all the group members should search for more information about GHP,GMP and HACCP so that next week dedicate and finish these tasks. The experiment for testing the shelf life was decided to begin on Monday 25th of July were 10 trained assessors should take part for sensory purpose (rate the samples for smell). The assessors should rate the samples 3 times per week where pH and viscosity measurements should also take place. Back to home page Back to Stage IV
