toc = Guest Visit = Claire Brownless from Not Only Olives Talking about her business preparing and making Mediterranean styled Hors d’Oeuvres including olives, relishes and chutnies, working as a sole trader in Hong Kong in the food industry, the rules and regulations. Claire shared with us the how she creates new products, testing, packaging, equipment, and work spaces, marketing, running costs and profits, whilst preparing a very aromatic apricot chutney.

Demonstrating apricot chutney - Students were all given a sample to take home and taste test.

= Introduction = You need to gain knowledge and understanding of ICT within the food industry. It is increasingly used by the food industry to develop and manufacture products. For a single item production, such as your final project, ICT may be used throughout the different stages of the design process to help generate, model and communicate your design ideas and proposals for manufacture. For example:
 * Using ICT in Food Technology**
 * identifying needs
 * developing detailed specifications
 * developing product ideas from the specifications
 * modifying product ideas to meet the specification
 * communicating product ideas
 * producing detailed work schedules.

= Resources = = CAD = Computer Aided Design
 * **@http://www.foodforum.org.uk/askexpert/CAD&CAM_in_food.shtml**
 * adding pictures (clip-art, scanned images, digital photos) to text, e.g. packaging
 * using CAD packages (mind maps, product profiles, packaging nets, food labels, star charts, design ideas) e.g. product development
 * databases e.g. recipes
 * modelling e.g. nutritional databases, @https://www.nutritionprogram.co.uk/application
 * spreadsheets e.g. scaling, costing, stock control

= CAM = Computer Aided Manufacture
 * monitors and controls the automatic production of food products based on set specifications and tolerances e.g.
 * sensors and quality control
 * single item production - bread maker, ice cream maker

= CIM = Computer Integrated Manufacture
 * all stages in a food production process are integrated and controlled by computer sytems
 * computers are linked in a network and control both the machinery and the flow of information during the process.
