IRA Grant - Agenda Item 6.3

Information

An Instructional Related Activates Grant (IRA) was awarded to the Magaram Center in the amount of $8,000. This grant will be used in a collaborative project between Cassie Berger (Food Science Graduate Student), Julie Ellis and the Marilyn Magaram Center. Last semester Cassie and a few of her classmates started working on an exciting new product – Matador Marmalade. Matador Marmalade is being developed with the idea of creating and incorporating campus recognition and sustainability into a product generated by the students for the students. Professor Julie Ellis inspired the idea for developing a marmalade that can be sampled at the weekly CSUN Associate Students Farmer’s Market and sold on campus. The concept of orange marmalade was chosen because CSUN was established on an orange grove in the late 1950’s and some of these original trees still remain. The product is expected to begin production in Fall 2015. The product development project will enhance the AS Farmers Market by providing students and the CSUN community with nutrition information, cooking demonstrations and recipe testing focusing on produce from the farmers market. The grant will cover an update to Compusense, sensory evaluation software and install the final sensory workstation. This software will allow the foods science student to properly analyze consumer acceptance of the recipes and products created.
