TD-NMR from Bruker
by Silvana Martini 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

Hi all, I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to let you know that we have a new piece of equipment in the Department. A few weeks ago, we received a TD-NMR from Bruker and today it was calibrated and installed. This equipment can be used to: * Measure solid fat content (SFC) in shortenings * Measure droplet size in emulsions (o/w or w/o) * Measure oil content in seeds and other materials such as cocoa powder. I think we can also use it to measure moisture content. I hope you consider this new equipment for your grants and service projects. Purlen, Ilhami, Yidong, and I received some training today. I am sorry that I didn’t send an invitation to everybody for the training, but we didn’t know that we were going to get trained until the last minute… I am confident and happy to say that Purlen is the new “NMR queen” 😊. Thanks to Purlen, Ilhami, Yidong, Yue, and Susie for helping with the entire process. If you want to check the new NMR out or use this new piece of equipment, please let me know and we will make sure you receive training. We are more familiar with the SFC and droplet size measurement applications and not as much with the oil and water content, but I am sure we can figure that out. Thanks!

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage. In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home - with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance and finding the real meaning of true love.

Communication specialist
by Silvana Martini 05 Aug '25

Hi all, I regret to inform all of you that IANR has not approved the hiring of a communication specialist for the department (Ashley's position). We will meet with IANR next week to discuss how we can fill in this void. This is a vital position for our department, and I'll do as much as I can to bring it back. Susie, will continue with social media posts as her time permits, but it will be slower than what we had before... It is a big shame... we were doing such great progress with Ashley... I am aware that the website needs a lot of work too and this is something that I will discuss with IANR next week. I just want to ask you for patience as we navigate these difficult times. Please keep tagging us in your social media posts as it will help us keep the momentum going... Also, if you have any material that you would like to see posted through the FST SM accounts, please let us know.
