“Sustainable Nutrition” Ian Mackay, CEO

EXCOM MEETING at 3 pm Networking 5pm | Speaker 6pm | Dinner 7pm
Corporate sustainability initiatives are becoming more common in major corporations but as populations grow and natural resources shrink, sustainability has become an increasing focus of corporate social responsibility initiatives. In the food industry, the reduction of waste is a key means to improve sustainability. However, constrained corporate resources often limit the ability of organizations to fully pursue that path. One potential solution is a strategic partnership between a company with significant coproducts volume and a startup with upcycling technology. Some of the risks and benefits of this approach will be discussed using the Zea10 story as an example. Ian Mackay, CEO of Zea10, has degrees in Chemistry, Materials Science, Public Affairs and Business Administration and has over twenty years of experience commercializing technology and forming and managing technology companies. He is committed to sustainability as well as reducing hunger and feels both excited and grateful to work with a team with the same goals. When not busy with proteins, Ian enjoys his time exploring craft breweries, biking, playing melodies on the electric guitar, and going on treks with his two dogs while leaving his two uninterested cats at home.

We invite you to join us for the
11th Annual CNJ IFT Golf Outing Monday, May 6, 2019
Cranbury Golf Course 49 Southfield Road, W Windsor Township, New Jersey 08550
Join your friends, colleagues, and invite your customers for a fun day at the Cranbury Golf Course in W Windsor Township, NJ. Cranbury Golf Club is truly a memorable experience! From the first tee to the 18th green, Cranbury’s Championship Course offers a challenging, yet player-friendly experience. The course offers excellent course conditions year round, built in 1964 by Gary Rhenn and recently redesigned to include all new green-side bunkers. Cranbury is a classic-style golf course featuring small undulating greens that are well bunkered. Unique to Cranbury are the six par 3s. From the par-3 fourth hole, which plays to a yardage of 225 yards over water, to the 12th hole, that, at 155 yards over the “Bog” offers players some of the best three shot holes in the area. Don’t let the par 70 deceive you because the course still plays well over 6,200 yards.
$160 per golfer includes: Green Fees, Cart Fees, Lunch, Welcome Bag, Buffet Dinner and prizes! DRESS: Strict Golf attire. Collared shirts, soft spikes. No denim jeans allowed.

STUDENT NIGHT RECAP
The CNJ/NYIFT Student Night was held on Wednesday, February 13 at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ. We had over 50 people in attendance; many were students who came to hear Dr. Liping Zhao’s presentation on The Gut Microbiome in Human Nutrition and Health. We had 11 poster presentations covering many different subject areas. If you missed this year’s Student Night, you missed a great event! Each year, CNJIFT & NYIFT hold a joint meeting where the focus is on students. At this meeting, Graduate students as well as Undergraduate students present their research in poster format. The meeting provides a unique opportunity for members in industry to see future professionals in food science more closely and also gain an appreciation of exciting new directions in food science education. During this meeting, poster presentations are judged by the NYIFT Awards Committee and the top three presenters receive monetary awards. Below are the winners.
Congratulations NYIFT Scholarship Winners . . . and special thanks to the judges this year – Carol BoNey, Melanie Gong, Joseph Hildebrand, Lisa Rosenberg, Paul Takhistov, and Bev Tepper.

Recap of 2019 NYIFT Suppliers Day & Mini Career Fair A Full Day of Learning, Meeting & Networking
First, the New York IFT Section would like to thank our exhibitors. Without you, Suppliers Day would not be possible. We had 193 exhibitors from all parts of the USA, Canada, and Italy, representing all types of ingredients used in foods, beverages, and related industries with approximately 1,100 attendees. This also included a few exhibitors who took advantage of our Career Fair.
Thank you for traveling to the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, New Jersey to showcase your products and services, our attendees certainly appreciated it. We also would like to thank our Suppliers’ Day sponsors and door prize donors. Whether your company sponsored an item, provided donations of snacks and beverages, or gave a monetary donation that went toward a special purpose, it was gratefully acknowledged and accepted. Additionally, we want to thank our Mini Career Fair exhibitors who felt it was worthwhile and would like us to continue to have this next year.

Our “Design Thinking in Product Development” Workshop was coordinated by Suppliers Day Volunteer Marc Meyers of Balchem and Susan Mayer of RTI. It drew in close to 40 people and it was apparent from all those who attended that this is an important topic and very relevant in today’s marketplace. This year the Show started at 3:30 p.m. and
ended at 6:30 p.m. There were plenty of door
prizes and a grand door prize of a shopping spree donated by Briess Malt
& Ingredients. The shopping spree consisted of $625 worth of Gift Cards!
We also held an after-show reception from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. This was for
both exhibitors and attendees to relax in a casual atmosphere, enjoying
some food and beverage before leaving the
show. It was a full day of learning, meeting
with suppliers, and networking with friends and associates.
We will be sending out a survey not only to our exhibitors but also to our attendees to
learn how we can continue to improve our Section’s Suppliers Day. We would like to
know about the hours, location, reception, and whether or not you come from out of
town and need a hotel.
Soon we will begin to make plans for next year’s Show and we hope you won’t miss
it! If you are interested in joining the Suppliers Day Committee, please contact Gerri
at the NYIFT Office 201-905-0090 or email [email protected].
