i have this nutrition paper i need to write about, my selected topic is Dark Chocolate
PROJECT GUIDELINE
DARK CHOCOLATE
Your project part 2 should cover the following topics:
1. Shelf stability of the product
How long is the food shelf stable? Since it is processed, what is added/how is it stored to make it last longer than the fresh form of the food.
2. Cost Evaluation
Choose a national brand (name brand like Oreos) and a generic brand (Spartan Brand crème filled cookies) and compare the ingredients, nutrition facts and the price. Is paying more for the national brand worth it?
3. Subjective Evaluation
Choose at least two different brands (national and generic) of the processed food. Ask at least 1 other person to taste the food with you. Which is preferred and why? (I suggest looking in the text concerning taste testing and organoleptic qualities in order to describe the results)
4. References
Please list all references used in both part one and two. At least 6 major references are to be used in the project, three for each part, two of which from recent textbooks or scientific journals. You may repeat references in part 1 and 2 as long as you have the required amount in total.
5. Questions and Answers
Please include a minimum of two food science (not nutrition) related questions for your classmates at the end of each part of your project (at least four in total). Remember that 20 points total from the project come from posting questions and answering other students' questions. Example of an acceptable question: "Why do you think the manufacturer chose to use this type of packaging?".
Example of an unacceptable question: "Do you like to eat this food?" or "What are the nutritional benefits of eating this food?"
Again, as a guideline, each section should be one page long, double-spaced in 12 point font with reasonable margins. Therefore, part 2 should be three pages plus a reference page. The same citation requirements will be applied to Part 2. Post your projects under the discussion tab in the forum entitled Part Two Processed Foods as a word document. You will need to add it as an attachment/link.
You will have a week after the deadline of project submission to complete answering your classmates' questions from part two for credit. A minimum of two thorough answers is suggested.
Please do not answer a question that has already been thoroughly answered, however you are welcome to comment on more than
one question.The university's plagiarism policy will be applied very strictly in this class.
