資深冰淇淋研發(fā)科學(xué)家——克羅格公司

????國(guó)茶（音譯）拿到食品科學(xué)和技術(shù)學(xué)位畢業(yè)時(shí)共有四個(gè)工作機(jī)會(huì)：一個(gè)是在海產(chǎn)品行業(yè),，一個(gè)是家禽業(yè)，一個(gè)是在營(yíng)養(yǎng)飲料（如Slimfast這類）,，還有一個(gè)是冰淇淋業(yè),。他最后做了顯而易見(jiàn)的選擇。現(xiàn)在他供職于連鎖超市巨頭克羅格公司（Kroger）,，該公司共有16個(gè)乳品廠和兩個(gè)冰淇淋廠,。國(guó)茶的工作就是設(shè)法讓營(yíng)銷(xiāo)團(tuán)隊(duì)夢(mèng)想的冰淇淋口味成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。他所創(chuàng)造的成果最后會(huì)在克羅格超市的貨架上獨(dú)家售賣(mài)。

????因?yàn)榛镜哪讨破坊旌衔锍３＿_(dá)不到這種要求,，國(guó)茶的工作大部分都是圍繞用于制造口味的原料展開(kāi)的,。今年他開(kāi)發(fā)了一種越橘味的冰淇淋。因?yàn)槊绹?guó)這種水果不多,，所以難度特別大,。他開(kāi)發(fā)的一款鳳梨椰肉酸奶很快就要上市了，大家可以先嘗為快,。很顯然他這工作最讓人開(kāi)心的一點(diǎn)就是每天都得吃一勺冰淇淋,。他說(shuō)：“這就得控制好份量了?！?/p>

Senior Scientist - The Kroger Co.

????Quoc Tra had four job prospects when he graduated with a food science and technology degree: one in seafood, a gig in poultry, another in nutritional beverages (think Slimfast), and one in ice cream. He made the obvious choice. Now at supermarket giant Kroger, which has 16 dairies and two ice cream plants, Tra figures out how to make the marketing team’s dream ice cream flavors a reality. His creations end up getting sold exclusively in Kroger’s supermarket aisles.

????Since the base dairy mixes aren’t tinkered with that often, most of Tra’s work is around the ingredients that go into making flavors. This year he developed a huckleberry product, especially challenging since there’s not much of the fruit out there. Look for a pineapple coconut frozen yogurt he worked on that’s launching soon. Clearly the best part of his job is the spoonsful of ice cream he’s required to eat every day. “It’s all about portion control,” he says.
