We have to meet up with our tutor today. We were told and explained some main details to our tutor that are what have we done in before tasks, and totur also give us some suggetions and tell us how can we do it in the next unit. What have we done before? In Food 5460, our topic is cereals and pulses. we have illustrated cereal cake, cereal bar, and Chen gave us one good example is cereal tea. it is a new product in UK or in EU country that will be a challenge and opportunity in the market. Paul asked us why we choose this product, it because health is a main important topic in the world, and for cereal tea, the benefits are: it may be reduced the caffeine from tea leaves, and it contains more nutritients in, as well as it is a new product. And we have told about HOWs and WHATs, in our gorup, we have got 8 attributes, which are divided into 3 types: appearance(colour, cloudiness), smell(roasted aroma), and taste(strength of green tea, flavor of flower, roased taste, sweetness, and after taste). However, these attributes need to compare, so we need compatitive analysis, while all cpmpatitors are made by our group, because this product is a totally new product in UK. Each compatitor is like with red beans or withour red beans, or cereal input is brown rice and another one is imput oats, etc....and also we have told market analysis, tech. analysis, processing and legislation as well. Paul gave us some advices that are for market analysis, the target group; benefits of these cereals tea, such as calories. Paul also told us what should we do in the next part. we need to work hard to search some details about factory plain for cereals tea, it can be searched similarly product like ginger tea to understand the processing in order to decide our product's processing. After tutor meeting, we have group meeting in common room. we decided three lines for searching during this week. they are 1. factory layout, 2. equipment description, 3. final production line. But today night we need to search storage of all ingredients, factory layout, and kind of examples for tomorrow morning meeting. this document i have wrote in BLOGGER on 07/06/2011, and the link is []
