Learning Experience Gateways Learning Outcomes Criteria Assessment Srategies
Session 3, 4, 5 (approximately six hours)
  • Display of "Hot Bread Snacks" food products/ideas
  • Identify a target group for which a "Hot Bread Snack" will be developed
  • Identify their preferences in terms of taste, texture, appearance, and health requirements
  • Carry out survey to find this information
  • Write an initial brief with specifications to satisfy the target group
  • Record processes followed (including changes to ingredients)

After trialling ingredients and processes to refine specifications, develop final brief for snack product. Evaluate against brief specifications using a star diagram to determine success of final product

Class undertakes sensory evaluation of developed snacks to identify the one that is preferred for multiple unit manufacture by the class using a production system.

Students work in pairs – 12 snacks developed. In each group of four, one is chosen as the preferred snack according to its appearance, health requirement, easy handling, overall liking.

A panel of six chosen to judge the best snack in the class. Results added – averaged and graphed to show results.
