Food Technology

Year 10 - Food Product Development

This term Year 10 Food Technology classes have been studying the area of Food Product Development. Students have had the opportunity to trial new products on the market, as well as learn about the processes undertaken in developing new ideas.

The main focus of the unit is for the students to design, develop and produce their own unique Boutique Cookie product. Market analysis and recipe adaption lead the students towards their new taste sensation, which they then produce during class time. Original packaging is also designed and made by the students to compliment their new biscuit design and find a ‘point of difference’ within the market.

Both Year 10 classes worked diligently on this task and created many new very successful  flavour combinations for the Boutique Biscuits.

These classes also were able to experiment with a trendy way to create a gift for Fathers Day. They placed their dry ingredients in a jar with instructions attached on how to make the biscuits. We hope the ‘Bickies in a Jar’ gifts were popular with our students Dads last weekend!
