Word from Western Australia, one of that
country's major wheat producing states, of
the establishment of the Centre for Grain
Food Innovation ought to awaken grainbased foods in America to the potential
of investing in research. Indeed, there has
hardly ever been a time when progress in
research dealing with grain-based foods,
as well as the entire range of food, is more
urgently needed than now. Amid the rising
chorus of criticism aimed at how food is
made and its nutritional contributions, the
industry and its allies must look to science
for support and future guidance.
In the case of Western Australia,
focus is on a dual target - convincing
Southeast Asian flour millers that
wheat grown in the state is suitable for
commercial baking and developing new
food products with health benefits and
taste characteristics that would give
the state's grain a competitive edge.
Partners in this undertaking are the
state's Department of Agriculture and
Food, Australia's Scientific and Industrial
Research Organization and Curtin
University of Technology at Perth.
The Centre's founding grew from the
need to resolve issues in using Australian
grain in major Asian import markets.
Yet, its research focus provides a model
for wheat farmers, millers and food
manufacturers seeking not just to be
innovative in product development but
to come up with answers that address
challenges to the underpinning of the
entire food industry. Similar collaborations
in America might offer great promise. MBN
