Development of Novel Honey-Product Offerings for Multifaceted Applications

加拿大最聪明的厨房（CSK）是荷兰学院（HC）加拿大烹饪学院（CIC）的研发部门，采用多学科方法解决基于行业的食品和饮料创新挑战。利用食品科学和烹饪创意方面的专业知识，结合以市场为导向的方法，CSK提议与当地高品质蜂蜜生产商Island Gold Honey （IGH）合作，开发可用于糖果行业和大麻食品行业的新型蜂蜜产品。该项目将通过对独特的IGH蜂蜜产品进行各种电池测试来研究不同的加工结果，以确定它在温度、冷冻、干燥和其他加工条件下的反应。从这些加工测试中收集的信息以及市场分析将用于支持产品构思和独特的新蜂蜜产品的开发。新的“可食用”蜂蜜原型将通过使用替代油来模拟四氢大麻酚（THC）和大麻二酚（CBD）的包含，直到CSK能够从加拿大卫生部获得大麻许可证。

Canada's Smartest Kitchen (CSK), the research and development arm of the Culinary Institute of Canada (CIC) at Holland College (HC) takes a multidisciplinary approach to solving industry-based food and beverage innovation challenges. Utilizing expertise in food science and culinary creativity combined with a market driven approach, CSK is proposing to work with Island Gold Honey (IGH), a local producer of high quality honey, to develop new, novel honey products that can be utilized both in the confectionary sector and in the cannabis edibles industry. This project will study the different processing outcomes by conducting various battery tests on the unique IGH honey product to determine how it reacts under temperature, freezing, drying and other processing conditions. The information gathered from these processing tests along with market analysis, will be used to support product ideation and the development of unique new honey products. New honey "edible" prototypes will be developed by using surrogate oils to mimic the inclusion of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) until CSK can secure their Cannabis License from Health Canada.
