Resources and Opportunities

Dairy Products Laboratory and Pilot Plant. Researchers in the Dairy Products Laboratory conduct research dealing with milk and dairy products, using full- and pilot-scale equipment.

Sensory Laboratory. The sensory laboratory is a modern taste panel facility used to train students in sensory testing. Panelists register impressions of samples on computerized questionnaires in an isolated booth equipped with aroma and lighting control. Computerized analysis rapidly transforms data into easily interpreted results.

Quality Food Laboratories. The quality food laboratories perform quality assurance testing and develop food products and processes for the LDS Church Welfare Services. This research grant provides on-the-job-training, practical experience, and the opportunity to receive compensation for the time spent in learning.

Ezra Taft Benson Agriculture and Food Institute. The major objective of the Benson Institute is to raise the quality of life among the people of the world through improved nutrition and enlightened agricultural practices. Emphasis is on developmental research with cooperating universities in the developing world relative to village nutrition and agricultural production.

Dietetic Internship. The Brigham Young University Dietetic Internship is currently granted accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the American Dietetic Association, 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606-6995, (312) 899-4876. The ten month dietetic internship (DI) meets the competency statements established by the American Dietetic Association for entry-level dietitians. Interns may apply to begin the nutrition MS program when they begin the DI, or complete only the internship.

Faculty and graduate students are currently engaged in a number of significant and interesting research projects, funded both internally and externally. Some of these are: food process development; clinical laboratory methods; effect of nutrient intake on gene expression.
