U of M students win big with innovative fruit bar

Joel Lamoureux, a food science student, and Tara Ayotte, a human nutritional sciences student, are part of a University of Manitoba food product development team that competed in the American Association of Cereal Chemists International (AACCI) Product Development Competition held in Savannah, Georgia on October 25, 2010.

The students' product, the "Beta Fruit Bar", won second place, making it the fourth consecutive year that a team from the U of M has been awarded a first or second place finish. Additionally, the U of M team was the only Canadian team, and the only team comprised of only undergraduates.

The team's winning product was a bi-layered (apple and blueberry) gluten-free, naturally sweetened, oat glucan bar with dried fruits.

The Food Product Development course is an annual joint offering of the Departments of Food Science (FAFS) and Human Nutritional Sciences (HEC).
