The Food Product Development Lab (FPDL) is under the department of Food Systems, Nutrition, and Kinesiology, within the College of Education, Health, and Human Development. The FPDL is led by faculty member Dr. Wan-Yuan Kuo and is supported by four staff members that manage programs and administrative duties. Several graduate students and undergraduate students conduct research and development ranging from fermentation to create a nutritious beverage that will benefit rural communities in Senegal, West Africa, to high-tech food extrusion using novelty crops such as Montana-grown lentils to make puffs and meat analogs.
