Class Objectives
/Class Outline Researchers and engineers of food companies are in charge of these lectures. This year, two lecturers will conduct an intensive course divided into two terms.
(1) The objective is for students to grasp an overview of food product development in companies and its inherent difficulty as well as appeal. In addition, food science will be understood in terms of its relation to food product development using concrete food product development case studies.
(2) In order to survive in the competitive market, food companies are launching products that have been given various “values”. In this lecture, we will learn practical knowledge about giving “values” through specific examples, such as marketing and food, planning products based on the functionality of food materials, designing products that realize the plan, developing raw materials that support the design, stable manufacturing that reproduces the design quality, and guaranteeing the “safety and security” that is essential for food.

Class Schedule (1-1) Food product development process
Understand the flow from product planning to production and distribution

(1-2) Product development from the viewpoint of the customer
What is product development from a customer’s viewpoint? Use development examples of curry products.

(1-3) Role of food science in food product development
Understand how knowledge of food science is useful in food product development research using concrete examples

(1-4) Quality assurance in food product development
Understand activities that bring safety and peace of mind to customers in relation to manufactured products

(1-5～6) Scientific studies on the taste of food
Understand the status of “food taste” research worldwide
Introduce specific examples of development

(1-7) Summary

(2-1) What is value in food development?
(2-2) The flow of food development: planning, design, production, sales, improvement
(2-3) Marketing in food development: from planning to design

(2-4) From product to sales: turning the design into reality, how to deliver to the customer
(2-5) The third function of food: how to deliver to the customer, labeling
(2-6) Important points: Securing safety and security
(2-7) Summary: What should students aiming to develop food products be aware of and learn?
