Imagine...
NUTRIGENOMICS… and insurance companies

Imagine...
• dairy products that boosts your immune system
and is distributed to school kids as a substitute to
a flu vaccine....
• dairy products that improve your
gastrointestinal health as a solution to obesity or
autism....
•Dairy desserts with perfect texture, containing
fat and decreasing cholesterol....
•An orange juice base –drink containing whey
protein as a sport drink …
Of course... not allowed to be labelled as such
and not allowed to call them what they are...

The ingredient list
It is already happening.... But certainly with higher sophistication of product
design comes an increased need for technology and complex product formulation
a research chair
as part of the solution
The ODC Chair at the University of Guelph
Provide basis for a Centre of Excellence in Dairy Research at the
University of Guelph
Carry out internationally recognized research beneficial to the dairy industry
Provide the opportunity to have well-trained graduates available to the
industry
Allow the industry access to research infrastructure
Transfer technology and knowledge from the academic field to industry on a
regular basis
The evolution of Dairy Research: current status
Guelph, Laval
Wisconsin U, DMI
Cal Poly – Kraft R&D
Lausanne, Wageningen U,
DK-ND Cooperatives, INRA France, Cork
NZ – dairy - Fonterra, Riddet Center
Dairy Australia, CSIRO

Dairy herd management, animal health, animal
behaviour, Kemptville college, Alfred Organic
farm, pathobiology, population medicine, ….

Milk physiology
The IRC at Guelph. Leveraging of government funds to benefit the Canadian industry
Qualified researchers
ODC-NSERC Chair Program
current research knowledge
experience
state of the art facility
Interact with R&D: different viewpoint
Training for R&D?
Increase of the interactions with ODC
members
Industry-linked projects
Federal Matching $$$
(Strategic, scholarships etc.)
Leverage DFO $$$

The academic research of today is
the commercial innovation edge
of tomorrow
• Understanding of gelation mechanisms for acid and rennet
gelation and cheese making
•Understanding of how rearrangements occur during cheese
making
•Effect of concentration of milk on gelation
•Functional properties of milk protein concentrates
•Determine key processing parameters to produce high
functionality powder ingredients
• incorporation of bioactive molecules in dairy matrices
•Effects of structure of dairy products in digestion kinetics and
satiety mechanisms
•Design of novel structures and textures in dairy matrices
•Processing of milk and its effect of on bioactivity
•Health properties of the milk fat globules
•Modification of dairy products to control gastrointestinal health
