The DuPont Knowledge Award showcases students’ on-trend new product ideas and food science execution.
It’s one thing to wonder about the next generation of food and beverage product developers, but there’s absolutely no need to worry. The DuPont Knowledge Award (KA) product competition demonstrates that collegiate food science faculty and students are on pace with on-trend product concepts, consumer interests and ingredient technologies.
DuPont Nutrition & Health, New Century, Kan., recently hosted its 10th annual new product development competition, and it drew 37 entries from 22 universities nationwide. DuPont recognizes the KA winners and three top new product concepts at Prepared Foods’ annual New Products Conference and awards prize money to the winning teams (first place, $10,000; second place, $5,000; and third place, $2,000).
