Message from our Past Chair Nitin Joshi, Ph.D., CFS Dear colleagues, Greetings! Hope your summer is going well and you have taken some time off for enjoying vacation with your families and friends. IFT Dairy Foods Division had several great programs at IFT FIRST in Chicago and I hope you were able to participate at those events. Some of the signature events to mention are, Division collaboration brainstorming session, Students competitions, Division professional networking event, etc. This year’s professional networking session was jointly organized with Product Development division, and it was a great success as 100+ members participated for 1:1 interaction, networking, participation in quiz bowl and winning lots of door prizes. If you missed these interactions /discussions and would like to get more details, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member from the DFD leadership team. Many Congratulations to Prateek Sharma for the Outstanding service award and to Maxine Roman, Ph.D. and Pranav Vashisht for receiving this year’s Outstanding Volunteer award. They have been a gem of our division, and they very well deserve this award. In the current year we organized several scientific and educational programs for our members. Specifically, I’d like to highlight our key and very successful programs such as: e-summit, IFT-ADSA joint webinar series, e-mentoring, e-newsletter, and articles in Dairy Foods magazine. Well, the current IFT year is ending soon however, we have several plans in pipeline for learning new science and technology for Dairy Foods and various engagement activities. I highly encourage you all to participate and take benefits of the renowned speakers and contributors. From next month a new committee will take over to organize various activities for our division. At this point I’d like to thank you all for your enthusiasm and support to the Dairy Division. I have no doubt that Mitchell Culler and Sonali Raghunath, Ph.D. will take this division to a new height of education, engagement, and success. I also welcome new members – Vivek Samani, Rutvi Joshi and Zifan Wan to the leadership team. If you have an idea / vision for newer activity/ educational program for our members’ benefits and you are interested to join the Dairy Foods Division leadership team, please contact any of the leadership team member. Best of luck to you all, - Nitin #dairyfoods #dairytalk #dairybytes #dairyproducts #ift #FIRST2024

Always great to have wonderful volunteers as part of our leadership team Prateek Sharma. Congratulations again for your outstanding service to IFT Dairy Foods Division
It is always pleasure to attend IFT every year as you get to meet new friends and reconnect with your old friends and mentors. This year IFT meeting was special for me as two great personalities having connection with my alma matter Riddet Institute got prestigious IFT awards. Distinguished Professor and director of Riddet Institute Harjinder Singh won highest honor of IFT i.e. Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of Nicolas Appert and Prof. Anwesha Sarkar Sarkar from University of Leeds won IFT Research & Development Award. Congratulations to both on their awards and thank you for providing an opportunity to learn about advanced food science research. Another reason for this meeting being special to me is because IFT dairy foods division humbled me by awarding me for Outstanding Service to IFT dairy foods division. Thanks to IFT DFD chair Nitin Joshi, Ph.D., CFS and his team for selecting me for this honor. For me, this event started with Division collaboration kick off and ended with judging oral competition presentations. I learned a lot while judging oral presentations of highly motivated students from three divisions.I enjoyed scientific panel discussions, particularly one on effect of processing on nutrient quality moderated by Namrata Karki Kandel, Ph.D. and Serap Vatansever. Penalists were Hongda Chen, Clifford Hall, Nicolas Bordenave, Emma Teuling. It is always great to meet with great friends like Nitin Joshi, Ph.D., CFS, Hari Meletharayil, Haotian Zheng, Kathiravan Krishnamurthy, Pulari Nair, and many more. Our IFT Dairy Foods Division team is awesome including Maxine Roman, Ph.D., Khilendra Bhanduriya, Sonali Raghunath, Ph.D., Mitchell Culler, Kritika Gaba, Vinatee Patil, and many more. We always look for volunteers for our division. Our colleague and friends from IFT staff were awesome including Jay Gilbert, PhD , Maya Salazar Melanie Bozek, Sydnie Nugent . Thank you all for your help. On the sidelines of IFT meeting, NSF funded our Dairy NutriSols team of Jenny Weaver, Gulhan Unlu, Kristi Spence, MS, RDN, Tim Anderson an had a project update meeting. We missed our commander Owen McDougal and Parameswaran Kumar Mallikarjunan. I would like to thank NDFS Department, Utah State University, BUILD Dairy , Dairy NutriSols and National Science Foundation (NSF) for their support.
Research shows dietary supplementation with certain bioactive compounds(i.e. jujube powder, rich source of bioactive compounds and flavors) to dairy cows leads to the milk with increased volatile compounds affecting flavor characteristics in possibly positive ways, and inching closer towards development of more innovative dairy products. #dairy #dairyresearch #innovation
