Food science students have been learning how sensory evaluation impacts peoples food preferences. They have identified their food preferences and a parents’ preferences, identified aromas. Students participated in a taste test panel to evaluate aroma, color, texture, flavor, carbonation on samples of chocolate chips, crackers and coke products. They then baked a real apple pie as well as an imitation apple pie in order to illustrate how human senses are limited and easily fooled.
The eggs 🐣 hatched this past week and students were able to enjoy the results from the embryology project!
McPherson County FFA students had the opportunity to attend a Tri-City Storm hockey game on their Ag Night!
