Food Science B

[samlan16]

Our team bought the Food Science CD kit and it came with experimental forms for the Laboratory Notebook. However, these forms do not look like the ones found on the national website. The forms we received are set up neatly in tables but is lacking an Analysis section, while the one on the national website has an Analysis section. Which one should we be using for our Laboratory notebook? Thank you.

Use the ones on soinc.

Has anyone done the experiments? I'd like something to compare my results to as I have no idea what is good/bad.

BTW, speaking of experiments, can we use glass jar for producing butter or does it have to be plastic jar?

Well, does it really make a difference?

Hey guys, I was just wondering how in depth food sciences goes. For example would I need to know organic chemistry and stuff like that? Also, does anyone have any good starting resources?

I would recommend studying some organic chem for your own sake if not for the event itself. My partner and I did (under the old rules, though), and it certainly was useful when a few questions about amino acids came up on the nationals test.

What resources did you use to study o-chem? Would a textbook be helpful?

UC Davis runs a site called Chem Wiki, which is pretty much an open source undergraduate chemistry textbook. There's also a ton of smaller sites that may help as well, but you should start there.

Just to confirm, we will be provided with all materials listed on the rules, even if the experiment does not call for them?

So I was looking at the mobile app for SO division B and under food science I found this passage

"Prior to the tournament, teams must perform 3 or more experiments for each of the three lab tasks. These experiments must be recorded on the Food Science Experiment Form (see on http://www.soinc.org) and must be placed together in a notebook... The notebook must be impounded prior to the start of the tournament for grading"

Can someone please explain what the "notebok" is?

I don't understand whether it means binder, folder, ruled composition, etc.

The Freemasons would really appreciate you If you helped us out.

Thanks!
