MANILA \u2013 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Mario Montejo said all regions in the country must have a food innovation center (FIC) this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome regions already have an FIC, while others will soon have their own,\u201d Montejo told the Philippines News Agency.<\/p>\n

DOST-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) Director Maria Patricia Azanza described FIC as a place where protoypes of food concepts were created.<\/p>\n

She added that an FIC was usually located in an educational institution.<\/p>\n

Azanza said that at present, there were more than 11,000 food concepts in the FIC at ITDI office in Bicutan alone.<\/p>\n

Two hundred of these concepts already have a protoype.<\/p>\n

The 200 sample products were showcased at Casa Buena de Pulilan, Bulacan, during the DOST’s Science Nation tour- Central Luzon leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Philippines have some very unique food products. Wen should make the most of of these,\u201d Montejo said.<\/p>\n

In Region III where Bulacan is located, Montejo said the FIC would be established at the Bulacan State University, and expected to be operational by June.<\/p>\n

The DOST chief cited that for the meantime, people from Region III could go to ITDI to make prototypes of their food concepts.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, among the equipment\/technologies found in an FIC include vacuum fryer, spray dryer and water retort.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vacuum fryer allows frying of vegetables, root crops, mangoes and jackfruits without eliminating their color and natural flavor.<\/p>\n

Spray dryer provides faster and more efficient drying method, as well as better control of powder quality.<\/p>\n

Water retort, on the other hand, offers a retortable pouch packaging as low-cost, environment-friendly alternative.<\/p>\n

DOST-ITDI said retort refers to the method of heat sterilization which frees the products from pathogens.<\/p>\n

The DOST-attached agency added that FICs are also equipped with vacuum evaporator for coco honey, tomato paste and condensed milk; freeze dryer for meats, fruits, and vegetables; vacuum packaging machine ideal for foods stored and packed in retortable pouches like cereals, nuts, cured meat, chips, and the like; and the immersion freezer which ensures faster cooling process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
