PhD Candidate Hasitha Priyashantha Receives 'Best Presenter' Award at the IDF International Cheese Science and Technology Symposium 2021

Hasitha Priyashantha, a PhD Candidate in Food Science at the Department of Molecular Sciences, presented his work related to the use of NIR hyperspectral imaging in cheese ripening at the International Cheese Science and Technology Symposium 2021. Among the student oral presentation sessions held over three days, his presentation was awarded first place (cash price of 1000 $ CND) by the scientific evaluation committee. In every fourth year, International Dairy Federation (IDF) organizes this prestigious symposium in different countries around the world. This year, the symposium was held virtually from Quebec City, Canada with the participation of students, researchers, scientists, cheese experts, and industry representatives.
