Diversifying Product Portfolio

Omega 3 Milks, Cheese, Cream and Butter. Project was completed at Fresno State, including the final sensory evaluation of cheeses after storage and throughout expected shelf- life. The project’s

findings will be presented by Fresno State faculty and researchers at the American Dairy Science Association meeting in June 2023. Some of the research’s key findings include: ✓ Milk production in Jersey cows increased 6% (fat, protein) ✓ Consistent increase in omega 3 content \ in milk (>32 mg/240 ml, Horizon Milk brand “standard” - in Holstein cows from day 30, Jerseys from day 60) ✓ Significant increases of omega 3 in cream and butter Gelatos, yogurt for athletes and more CDIC worked on a range of new product concepts and prototype projects. The objective of the program is to: • Provide turn-key formulations to entrepreneurs and small-sized manufacturers who lack R&D capabilities. • Develop technical solutions, in collaboration with the R&D teams of processors for portfolio expansion initiatives, and develop information and formulations for hands on short-courses and training. • Gain technical know-how and strengthen the knowledge base of staff at universities so they can effectively train new students and serve as subject matter experts for industry.
