P3 WINGS P3 WINGS Dear Junior Food Technologists, I am pleased to inform you that your team has been short- listed by world renowned food company ABC Food Industries to participate in its annual Best Junior Food Technologists Team Award 2008. This privileged participation will be a boost to an advanced promotion as Senior Food Technologists should you succeed in meeting its requirements. Your team will be assessed on both practical and theoretical aspects of food science. Your team would be required to produce a bread product. An oral presentation illustrating the recipe and procedural steps undertaken is to be provided. You also have to include the functional purposes of each ingredient present in your bread as well as address any possible faults in your bread making. Last but not least, a Question-and-Answer by the panel of judges will be conducted. You are given the autonomy to present your information in a mode of presentation of your choice. A month is given for each team to prepare for this world renowned competition. This preparation is essential and crucial as you will need to get your original recipe and ingredients ready. Team work and collaborative efforts would also form the other part of the assessment. I look forward to seeing and tasting your creation. Meanwhile, get creative and co-operative! All the best to you for this competition! Yours truly, Innovative Food Scientists Committee
