Title: Food Preservation: Space Nuggets
Duration: One day
Teacher: Jacquey Neilson
Overview: This unit looked at the overall issue of why and how food is preserved. Students focussed on the special requirements of food in space travel and adapted a muesli bar recipe to create their 'space nuggets'. They discussed food packaging and labelling requirements, then packaged their product and completed a nutritional information pack. Jacquey has written this and her other Food Technology units with a Food Technology Toolbox in mind.
Focus Points:
- Food Preservation
- Addressing specialised food requirements
- Development of packaging, labelling and nutritional information panels
- Using a Food Technology Toolbox
