So while we are otherwise engaged, we thought you would like to hear the top 10 WDFS interviews of all time! Interview #3 is with Dr. Arnie Sair.
Dr. Arnie Sair has worked for General Mills, Signature Brands and now, Bugne. Throughout his career one thing has held constant, his focus on food safety and quality. As a Ph.D. recipient at NC State University, an outstanding alumni award winner, and who started out as a high school student working at McDonalds, Arnie has great insight into the food industry. Join us as we talk about carrying on the legacy of being a 3rd generation, Ph.D. food scientist (which makes him a bit of a unicorn in our book!) to what a large agribusiness like Bunge does in the world of food.

So while we are otherwise engaged, we thought you would like to hear the top 10 WDFS interviews of all time! Interview #4 is with Dr. Allen Foegeding.
We chewed Allen’s brain on his expertise in texture and oral processing in this conversation. Dr. Foegeding’s research includes understanding which food structures create an optimal texture experience and how we perceive that texture when we are breaking down these food structures. What textures do we like the best? Are companies generating the next wave of food texture preferences?

It’s been called the world’s dumbest problem. Food waste is an environmental problem that is juxtaposed by the amount of hunger in the world. Dr. Lisa Johnson joins us to discuss food waste and loss. With about a third of the food at the farm lost, her research, which is focused on food loss at the farm level and how to reduce it, is important to solving the problem.
