Listen "#18 Two Words: Food Innovator. Qian Deng, PowderPure"
Episode Synopsis
Growing up in China, Qian Deng started as a biological engineer, working on fermentation that utilized e coli! Of course, that' a four-letter word in the food world, but in pharmaceutical research, it's pretty routine. But food science had a bigger appeal to Qian and the fermentation of both baking bread and making soy sauce became much more interesting to her. And creating foods with extra antioxidants became a focus for her. When she applied for grad school, it was to be a food science major and she was accepted to study in the US at Oregon State University. She currently works for a company located in The Dalles, Oregon, which has a river location, good co-packing facilities and warehousing as well. Using natural food extracts to put healing ingredients, they have created new scents and tastes with nutrients and healing traits not found in other additives. The company was sold some time ago, and that allows the PowderPure products to spread around the world.
