D.D. Williamson's first Beverage Coloring Competition honors student

D.D. Williamson congratulates Pui Yeu (Rei) Phoon, a graduate student in Food Science at Purdue University, for winning its first, annual Beverage Coloring Competition for Students in May 2011.

The winning entry is a citrus-flavored beverage fortified with beta-carotene, a bioactive lipid antioxidant that contributes both Vitamin A and coloring.

The system used to deliver the beta-carotene is the novelty of the beverage.

Phoon's award is a trip to the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting, from June 11 to 15 in New Orleans, US.

The company displayed her winning poster at IFT Food Expo.

It invites IFT Student Association members to submit abstracts in November for the 2011-12 Beverage Coloring Competition.
