From Tank to Barrel: Fermenting and Texturizing Novel Proteins
|
Lutz Grossman
University of Massachusetts
|
Proteins can be produced through various emerging technologies, including gas fermentation. While interest in non-traditional fermentation methods for protein production is growing, uncertainty remains about their applications as food ingredients. This talk will explore gas fermentation as a novel protein supply chain and provide new insights into the anisotropic structuring of new protein sources.

Food Ingredients from the Hemp Heart: Formulation, Nutrition, and Supply Chain Dynamics |
Chad Rosen
Founder & CEO bject |
Victory’s presentation will cover highlights of hemp nutrition including details on the amino acids, poly unsaturated fats, and minerals. Chad will also cover our capacity upgrades, technology, and supply chain overview. The remainder of the time will be used to cover ideal applications where our customers are finding success using our ingredients including Ready-to-Mix, gluten free baked goods, nutritional bars, and more! |
|
In 2014 Chad put down roots in Northern Kentucky, where his company Victory Hemp Foods is based. Victory Hemp Foods processes Hemp Hearts into Hemp Heart Oil, and Hemp Heart Protein at their facilities in Kentucky. Chad is an entrepreneur passionate about developing impact-based businesses with sustainable supply chains. A graduate of the Village Capital Agricultural Accelerator, his network in the food system is far reaching high levels in the private and public sectors. The White House invited Chad to represent Kentucky and Victory Hemp Foods at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Palo Alto, where he met with POTUS’s Entrepreneurial Ambassadors and 700 other entrepreneurs from 170 countries to work on solving for some of the world most pressing issues here at home and abroad, including food security. He’s dedicated to bringing hemp into the rural economy where sustainable economic development is a priority. |

Predicting shelf-life in a flash with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and machine learning |
Bezalel Adainoo
PhD candidate, University of Massachusetts
|
This research focuses on developing a rapid, cost-effective method for monitoring food freshness/spoilage using a patented surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active fiber combined with machine learning. By analyzing volatile organic compounds. (VOCs) in food headspace, the technique enables real-time quality monitoring, reducing food waste and enhancing consumer safety |

|
| Bezalel Adainoo is a dedicated food scientist whose research is focused on using advanced analytical techniques and machine learning for food quality monitoring. He holds a B.Sc. in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Ghana and an M.Sc. in Food Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia. At PreScouter, he contributed to over 140 projects, translating academic research into actionable insights for global food manufacturers. He is now a Ph.D. candidate in Food Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. |
