10 Food Technology - Arnott's Biscuits

This term 10 Food Technology has been exploring the world of Food Product Development. This topic delves into the world of food products, how they end up on our shelves, how we are convinced to buy them and the many reasons why some products are more successful than others. 

 

 

Year 10 is challenged with the task of using the Food Product Development cycle to produce their own version of an existing Arnott's biscuit. The girls have been working hard to gain consumer feedback and implementing their requests into a new flavoured biscuit that could feature in the Arnott's range. Some of the new flavour creations include Lemon & Herb Shapes, Mocha flavoured Tim Tams, Mango Iced Vovos, Red Velvet Tiny Teddies, and Lemon Myrtle Shortbread Creams. The photos below are some of their first trial products that were sampled this week. The girls will now use their consumer feedback to make some minor adjustments to the flavour, texture or appearance of the biscuits before their final product due dates in four weeks. 

The girls should be commended for their outstanding commitment and enthusiasm with this task. They have continued to impress us with their dedication and willingness to challenge themselves to produce high-quality products.
