A TEAM of Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) lecturers and students emerged as the cream of the crop, winning an international ice cream award on Wednesday, trumping major players such as Dreyer's Grand and Haagen-Dazs.
The NYP team's 'green tea laced with aloe vera' recipe beat industry names from Slovenia and the United States to emerge tops in the best new ice cream category at the inaugural IDF Dairy Innovation Awards in Austria.
NYP's winning ice cream flavour was developed by four students and two lecturers from the Food Science Programme of the polytechnic's School of Chemical and Life Sciences (SCL).
I think it is a great honor to be awarded with such an award and not to mention we even beat Haagen-Dazs which is an international brand and also popular throughout the entire world. Winning this award also brings global recognition to our country and our school (NYP). I believe that this win will also be a great factor in attracting students into the Food Science Programme and this will make a determining factor for students when NYP is compared with other polytechnics.
Green tea laced with aloe vera flavor of ice cream sounds very interesting and I would definitely try it if the ice cream is being commercialised. However, I do think that the recipe name should be changed as the it is too long and it does not sounds attractive at all. The team should come out with a name that will make everyone interested so that they will purchase the product.
