A $7M donation was made to UBC's food science project to (1) develop innovative food and beverages using oats, nuts, and dried fruits, focusing on new ingredients, formulas, tastes, textures, and appearances; and (2) research methods for improving food safety, extending shelf life, preserving food, and eliminating contamination.
