Glanbia Nutritionals welcomed a group of Transition Year students as part of Science Week 2023 to the state of the art Glanbia Innovation Centre located at Leggetsrath, Co Kilkenny.
Sixty students from Loreto Secondary School visited the site to learn about new product development and the product design process.
Students toured the labs where scientists demonstrated how to make high protein products and the groups were introduced to various equipment used to analyse new product samples.
This event was followed by a tour of the pilot plant and a demonstration on how to scale up from lab scale, to pilot scale, for high protein bars prior to proceeding to factory production trials. The students were also introduced to beverage and yoghurt processing equipment.
The event concluded with a tasting session of some delicious snacks, which were enjoyed by all.
