Food Science Students Awarded for Innovation
August 19, 2009
University of Guelph graduate students Brittany Huschka and Falguni Chauhan won first prize at a national competition promoting the use of pulse seeds in food recipes. The pair of M.Sc. students in the Department of Food Science were awarded the grand prize of $2,500 for creating Smuffins, an Indian-inspired spicy gluten-free muffin. Pulses are the edible seeds of legumes. The most common pulse crops are peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas and faba beans.
The event took place July 15 during the Canadian Special Crops Association Conference in Winnipeg.
