FINAL PROJECT GUIDELINES (20% of Semester Grade)

Completed Report Due 12/17/20, Uploaded to iLearn by 500pm

Assignment Purpose: The final project is your opportunity to demonstrate that you can apply the principles of food science taught over the course of the semester to successfully modify a recipe to achieve new plan and execute a formal experiment based on the scientific method. So essentially, you’ll practice two things that will help you later in life: 1) applying the food science principles and knowledge taught in this course, and 2) practice applying the scientific method so you can experience how a good experiment should be run (so you can critically evaluate whether experiments that you encounter are sound, and so you can create future experiments to test your own theories in the future). Your final project, has seven (7) components:

1. Identify an area of inquiry: Choose an existing recipe, with the aim to improve that recipe in a way of your choosing.

2. Conduct a literature review: Research the scientific principles involved with achieving the desired improvement of your chosen recipe.

3. Form a hypothesis: Based on your research, modify the original recipe, to achieve the desired outcome that you have chosen.

4. Conduct your experiment: Make the original recipe once. Then also execute your modified recipe. 5. Report your results: Document the process and output of your attempts to execute on the original

and modified recipes. 6. Analyze your experiment results: Evaluate whether, and explain why your modified recipe (did

not) achieve your desired outcome. 7. Discuss your learnings and advise future researchers: Discuss the weakness and flaws of your

experiment and make suggestions on how others can use your experience to help make their own recipe changes in the future.

Project Component Guidelines and Details: The following is more detail on each of the components of your final project. This is not a comprehensive, yes/no list of what you are/not allowed to do for your project. These guidelines and details exist so that you can explore what is interesting to you and still meet the learning objectives of this assignment. If after reading this section, you still have questions, please contact Sybil.

1. Identify an area of inquiry – You have a lot of latitude here. Ask yourself what in the world of food do you want to find out more about? What have you always been curious about?

? Maybe you want to find a way to make a healthier version of your favorite recipe. ? A fluffier version of your mom’s favorite cake? ? A way to make a favorite treat gluten- or dairy-free?

Choose an area of food science that you are genuinely interested in, and that relates to some of the scientific principles discussed in the course.

2. Conduct a literature review – Now it’s time to do some background research so you know what factors are important to consider about your area of inquiry. For example, if you chose to explore ways to make a fluffier version of your mom’s favorite cake, conduct some research into what creates leavening in the cake’s existing recipe; what other leavening methods exist; which and why certain alternative leavening methods may (not) be applicable to your current situation. Remember, it’s important to discuss a variety of alternatives and explain why you believe certain alternatives

Can I choose a beverage as my product? YES – You are free to choose any food or beverage you choose, just as long as you can make a more wholesome improvement on the product. The ultimate test of whether you are allowed to use a certain product is that you must be able to:

Obtain a verify-able ingredient list and
Obtain a nutrition panel or nutritional information for the product;
Explain and discuss the ingredients you’ve chosen/replaced/kept. 

Any beverage? Can it be alcohol?  Sure, but…. You must be 21 to drink/sample/evaluate it. And just as long as making that alcoholic beverage is legal (ie, do NOT distill your own liquor).
Do I need to turn in an actual sample of the product that I made? NO. It won’t fit in the iLearn drop box.
What is the APA citation method? It is a formal citation method developed by the American Psychological Association, used to standardize the presentation of referenced materials in academic and business writing. APA uses both in-text citations and a separate reference section at the end of a written work. For more information on how to properly cite with the APA method, please visit: OWL YOUTUBE.
I learned and have used the MLA format in the past. Can’t I just use MLA? NO. You are required to use APA in-text citations and include an APA reference list. 
HELP – iLearn won’t let me upload my file and it’s almost the deadline! iLearn has a maximum upload file size of 20MB. The report file size is likely too large because the file size of the pictures in the report are too large.It is up to you to make sure the file can be uploaded to the dropbox in time. So plan ahead. You have several options to make sure you are able to include all the pictures and detail that you need and still meet the file size requirements:

Take pictures at 3MB or less. The print version of your photo only needs to be 300dpi in order to print clearly. That means for a picture that is about 2″x3″ in printed size, it will be <2MB in size.  Crop the picture to a smaller size, and only focus in on the important content in the photo. Make sure you crop the photo in a photo editing program, not in Word. Cropping in Word does NOT reduce the file size.  There are several very good (powerful yet easy to use) photo editing applications that are available for free: http://www.getpaint.net/  Getpaint.net (Windows) http://www.gimp.org/   GIMP (Windows/OSX/Linux) http://pixlr.com/editor/ Pixlr Editor (Web-based, and works on any OS) Many YouTube video tutorials are available on these applications. Just Google it.
