Jakeman's Maple Products

杰克曼的枫树产品（杰克曼的）是一个比奇维尔，安大略枫树农场和创新的农业食品制造商，处理100%的加拿大制造，全天然纯枫糖浆和枫产品。由于枫糖容易吸收水分，在储存过程中形成块状物，最近导致客户不满意（在商店和零售层面），导致Jakeman的市场份额下降，并难以满足客户对产品的需求。因此，Jakeman's正在寻求Conestoga学院食品加工技术研究所（IFPT）研究团队的支持，以进行实验，在他们在新的更大的设施中建立生产之前找到解决这个问题的方法。研究范围将通过确定具有最高防潮性能的最佳可生物降解包装材料来解决结块问题，该包装材料可用于将枫糖包装在单份大小的棒状包装中。

Jakeman's Maple Products (Jakeman's) is a Beachville, Ontario maple farm and innovative agri-food manufacturer that processes 100% Canadian-made, all-natural pure maple syrup and maple products. The formation of lumps during storage of maple sugar, because of its tendency to absorb moisture, has recently resulted in unsatisfied customers (both at store and retail levels), causing Jakeman's to suffer a loss in market share, and to experience difficulty in keeping up with the customer demand for product. Therefore, Jakeman's is seeking support from the research team at Conestoga College's Institute of Food Processing Technology (IFPT) to conduct experiments to find a solution for this problem before they establish production in a new and larger facility. The scope of research will resolve the lumping issue by determining the optimal biodegradable packaging material with the highest moisture barrier properties that is commercially available and can be used for packing maple sugar in single-serving size stick packs.
