Dairy research and health
N. P. Shah
It is a great privilege to have received
the Keith Farrer Award of Merit 2011. I am very humbled and would like
to thank my colleagues who nominated me for this award and the committee
who determined that I was worthy to receive this award. The theme of
this Convention is Tackling Tomorrow Today with subthemes of Environment
and sustainability, Health, safety and risk, and Food choices, nutrition
and food fashion. Most of my work over the past 30 years, in particular
over 21 years at Victoria University, fits into the area of health and
food and nutrition. Hence, I would like to share a part of my journey
in dairy research and health, in particular ‘improving health
functionalities by reducing fat and salt contents in cheeses and application
of probiotics’.
