5: Feedback
We now have been starting to meet a lot
more regurally as we got stuck into our online eportfolio’s. However before any
of this can really be done. A lot more research has to take place on our whole
Kefir Water idea. As we attend Barry’s bioprocessing lectures every Friday,
we’re starting to build up a significant knowledge and understanding of
bioprocessing and the types of processes. Previously in lectures, I struggled a
little with what was happening but as the weeks have been progressing I feel
like I’m becoming more and more confident with the bioprocessing processes and
a way to develop our process.
The reasoning behind using Kefir water
over Kefir milk, which is a lot more common, was because people who have IBD’s,
IBS’s, Gastrointestinal Diseases etc usually have more than one problem, so
there is a high chance that they will also be lactose intolerent and therefore
won’t be able to use our product. We then sat down and thought to make a
flavoured water version. We drew up the pro’s and con’s and came to the
conclusion that this would be the best route to go down. The fact that there’s
virtually no water kefir product on the market swayed it in it’s favour and
thought if we ever were to make and sell this product for real that this would
be a great unique selling point.
After the class that Friday, we had a
chance to look at our eportfolio’s with Barry and get a little feedback. Our’s
was looking very rough at the time and I got from Barry’s impression that he
wasn’t too impressed. However, he relaised that it was still early day’s in
this project and knew that it wasn’t due until the end of the semester. He told
us to get cracking on it next week and to include visual aids rather than lots
of words and paragraphs as this is far more appealing to the reader.
After this class, we relaised that we
were slowly but surely falling behind and this little feedback chat gave us the
motivation to step up our game and make sure that we were on top of things for
the next feedback meeting.
Anyway, that’s all for today folks,
Talk next week,
Sean.
