10 minutes – Welcome & Opening Remarks

35 minutes - Speaker 1: KJ Burrington and Q&A

• Innovations in dairy ingredients that enhance their performance in food and beverage applications today and in the future.
  Product developers have more dairy ingredients to choose from than ever before. U.S. dairy ingredient companies have developed new and innovative milk and whey ingredients with improved performance for specific applications. These innovations address many of the consumer needs that every company is trying to meet, such as clean label, lactose free, and higher protein. Whether your product focus is dairy products, prepared foods or beverages, there is a dairy ingredient that can meet your needs.

35 minutes - Speaker 2: Dr. IIan Samish and Q&A

• Sustainable, healthy and affordable milk via precision fermentation of (designer) proteins
  Tectonic movements of the dairy industry highlight the need for sustainable, humane, environmentally-friendly and affordable cow-free nutritious and functional milk. Amai Proteins cures the food system by producing designer proteins via precision fermentation, starting with the first hypersweet protein as a sugar substitute. How can one make milk without a cow? Beyond the science of Computational Protein Design and precision fermentation, the talk will highlight regulatory, consumer acceptance and intellectual property aspects of the new cow-free milk.

35 minutes - Speaker 3: Dr. Sam Alcaine and Q&A

•  The Fermented Whey: Upcycling dairy by-products into value-added beverages and ingredients
  Creating value from dairy components, like protein and fat, has been a success story for the dairy industry. Sugar is another story, one of an unwanted, never-ending, by-product of excess. With global challenges in regard to lactose-intolerance, and the rising questions about sustainability, changing the narrative will require multiple solutions. Dr. Sam Alcaine, an assistant professor in Cornell University’s department of Food Science, will discuss his lab’s research into cultures and fermentation parameters to upcycle lactose into value-added components like ethanol, acetic acid, and sweeteners. The goal is to develop scalable processes that lay the foundation for the sustainable creation of dairy-derived beverages that translate into growing consumer trends—like kombucha, tonics, and low-alcohol beers—that will drive novel value for the dairy industry.

35 minutes - Speaker 4: Kevin van Koerten and Q&A

• Model based spray drying optimization
  Spray drying is the workhorse of food grade powder production. In this presentation, you will gain an understanding of the governing product physics during spray drying and learn about product stickiness and moisture sorption and an incorporating model to maximize throughput while accounting for the limiting effect of fouling due to product stickiness. The presented model has been applied successfully for multiple years.
