Purdue Food Science is proud to announce that Dr. Phil Nelson is receiving the 2007 World Food Prize. Nelson, founding Department Head and current Scholle Chair in Food Processing, received the recognition for his pioneering work in aseptic processing and bulk storage.
The global impacts of this work are immense. Annual usage of Scholle Corporation’s and others’ bag-in-box technology exceeds 5 billion liters worth of aseptically processed product. Also, there are over 500 million gallons of juice processed annually with Nelson’s bulk storage technologies.

This food can then be stored for long periods of time and transported to all corners of the world without losing nutritional value or taste.” -- Kenneth Quinn Read more
