For our next task, we had to research some articles in order to decide which would be our main bioprocess in the project. We found some good information involving fermentation.We have decided to use cheese fermentation as main bioprocess. However, we needed a nutraceutical product. In our researches, we have found that a nutraceutical product has benefits to improve health, prevents diseases or delay aging process. In order to do this, we thought about essential oils, that are a new trend in food, due its antioxidant properties and other benefits to human body. So we could combine both things in one product: cheese with oregano oil.
We looked for some articles about it and found some research showing that it really can improve health.
Then, another thought occurs to us: Why not combine the cheese with something else, like a bread or cream cracker? Both of these products are obtained by fermentation. And we can pack together to do an easy snack. But, it also needed a functional aspect. So, we have decided to do a gluten-free snack,that is healthier and suitable for people with coeliac disease.
