Introduction

Introduction Reducing the total cost of the supply chain, while improving quality, driving innovation, process improvement and sustainability. The 2012 Autumnal issue of Foodservice Resources sees 2012 providing Church Resources and our national team with so many truly terrific opportunities to work with our Member organisations and staff. We are fortunate to have the increasing support of our existing and many new supply partners in assisting our Member base with specialised technical, logistic and product support. The Foodservice team have already been part of many projects with our partners delivering extra resources and knowledge into our Members. Some examples that come to mind include: witnessing Brett Harris (the Bidvest Dedicated National Corporate Manager for CR Members) train a group of Catering Managers in time efficient stocktake techniques, the Unilever Foodservice team demonstrated labour saving recipe methods and gluten free technique in their Masterclasses for CR Members, Fonterra with their Aged and Healthcare product ideation program, Mrs Macs provide generous support for the innovative Holy Family Training Centre and Catholic Homes VIC have been assisted by Bidvest, M&J Chickens, Lion, Heinz and Goodman Fielder.

Nestle have a broad range of projects scoped with Church Resources for the not-for-profit sector in 2012, with a strong focus on aged care. To show the broader commitment to creating a healthy community our Manufacturer Partner has facilitated the creation of a revolutionary, do-it-yourself diet toolkit for those of us in the real world - where food is plentiful, life is hectic, and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always grab that exercise or eat what we should.

http://www.food-lovers-diet.com.au Thanks to Nestle, the CR Foodservice team has five copies of The Food Lovers Diet by Dr Penny Small to give away to the first five Members to email me at MKenrick@churchresources.com.au and provide confirmation of your employment in the not-for-profit sector.

Good luck in the book giveaway and happy healthful eating this Autumn! Martin Kenrick Senior Supply Manager- Foodservice

Bryopin: The Cooked Meat Specialists Church Resources is excited to introduce you to Bryopin, our newest Manufacturer Partner in the Foodservice Solution. Bryopin was established in 1988 to develop and market meat products cooked using the sous vide method. Bryopin’s customers include the hospital sector, aged care, clubs, caterers, bistros/restaurants and take-awayfood outlets. Bryopin’s pre-cooked meat products are created using sous vide technology. The system was developed by French chef George Pralus more than 30 years ago – the name means “without empty”,or vacuum. The trimmed and shaped meat is placed in a special bag which is impermeable to oxygen, sealed under vacuum, then cooked slowly at a low temperature for many hours. It is then rapidly chilled in an ice bath. This system results in exceptionally tender, succulent meat, which can be used in hot dishes, sandwiches or salad platters. It alsogives a long shelf-life of about 10 weeks refrigerated, and product can also be frozen for later use. Shaping the meat before cooking also makes portion-control simpler for the end-user, and cuts down on waste. The meat releases some liquid into the bag providing an ideal base for gravies and stocks.

The Ingham Institute A Vision for a Healthier Australia Sixteen years ago Bob Ingham (AO) had a vision which has become reality. Enter the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research, a medical research institute based in Sydney’s South West that strives to improve the health and wellbeing of all Australians. The Ingham Institute began its journey on January 22nd 1996, when Founding Benefactors, Jack and Bob Ingham of Inghams Enterprises, donated funds which marked the beginning of their continuous and ongoing support today. Funding was also provided by the State Government and more recently, the Institute received a grant from the Federal Government towards construction of the building. Located within Sydney’s Liverpool Hospital, the Ingham Institute is a unique collaboration between the Health Services in South Western Sydney, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Western Sydney (UWS). It conducts cutting-edge medical research within specialist research streams that specifically address the health concerns of people in the South West including Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Serious Injury, Mental Health and Early Years, which focuses on the health issues of infants and children. Each of the streams place an emphasis on translational research that uses the combined resources of the Ingham Institute to deliver practical outcomes that have application both domestically and internationally.

Health District will provide state of the art training for clinicians, nurses, allied health professionals and students. As a charitable organisation, the Ingham Institute has been fortunate enough to receive the longrunning generous support of the Ingham family and Lady Mary Fairfax. However, like everything, it cannot continue to operate and achieve breakthroughs without consistent support and the Institute needs funds from the community to continue its important work. Should you be interested in making a donation to the Ingham Institute, you can do so online at www. inghaminstitute.org.au/Donate.html. For further information and to see how Bob Ingham’s dream has come to life in the Institute’s new documentary see www.inghaminstitute.org.au.

Even though the Ingham Institute is young, it isn’t short of major achievements and research milestones. In fact, just recently the Institute was awarded a $5.7 million program grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for a new cancer research project using an MRI coupled linear accelerator (MRI-Linac). One of only three in the world and an Australianfirst, the MRI-Linac is a state of the art piece of technology that is set to redefine cancer treatment in Australia by accurately locating tumours during a radiation therapy treatment session in real time, offering greater potential of improving patient cancer treatment outcomes. The Ingham Institute will be the first medical research institute in Australia to work on the development of this unique technology, with the MRI-Linac to be housed in a Research Bunker as part of the Institute’s new research premises set for launch in 2012. Setting a new benchmark in Australian medical research, the Institute’s new premises will comprise of a five storey purpose built research precinct that will contain the latest state of the art equipment and facilities, changing the way research is done in Australia. Headlining with the MRI-Linac, another stand out feature of the new building will be the Clinical Skills Training and Simulation Centre, where the clinical schools of UNSW, UWS and the Local

Bidvest Hospitality - Ice makers and fridges Ice is intertwined with human history. As far back as 400BC, Persian engineers had already mastered the technique of storing ice... Ten things to look for in quality ice cubes: ÆÆ Crystal clear cubes – commonly referred to as gourmet cubes, enhances look and taste; ÆÆ Large with rounded sides to fit to any shape of glass; ÆÆ Rock hard; ÆÆ Formed by water layering; ÆÆ Shaped to prevent splashing when pouring; ÆÆ Produced individually – not in a block; ÆÆ Shaped so won’t bridge or join to other cubes; ÆÆ Slow dilution; ÆÆ Maintains shape while diluting; and ÆÆ Produced with filtered water.

make and fill a glass, reducing the amount of mixer required. This gives patrons a better taste and the operator a better bottom line. Knowing what type of ice you want means getting the right ice for your business. Bidvest Hospitality can supply many brands of ice makers and refrigerators including medical fridges. Should you be seeking any of these items please call Terry Greene on 07 3823 8707

Some historical background: Ice is intertwined with human history. Senators of ancient Rome enjoyed ice in their drinks that was brought down from far away mountains. As far back as 400BC, Persian engineers had already mastered the technique of storing ice to chill drinks for royalty. During the Victorian gold rush of the nineteenth century, American ships brought ice to the goldfields to chill the drinks of thirsty miners. Australia’s harsh climate inspired James Harrison of Geelong to develop an ice making machine in 1856. In 1914, American Fred Wolf invented an electric refrigerating machine called the DOMELRE. It had a simple ice cube tray and for the first time ever, ice could be produced in any climate. By the 1930’s local Australian restaurants and bars would advertise ‘Iced and Icy cold drinks’ to entice customers during long hot summers. It is hard to believe that until then ice for drinks was generally only afforded by the wealthy. Ice is so common now we don’t notice it. It’s almost an Australian ‘rite of passage’ learning to break up the bagged ice before layering it over beers in the Esky. Ice is required to chill but not dilute the contents, enhancing the look and the flavour. To do this, the best ice is large (13 grams or 18 grams + being the ultimate). The ice must be shaped to resist melting and it should be clear, not opaque, like some hollow ice. Large 18 gram ice cubes are cheap to

Mrs Macs - So, what’s a balance diet? The phrase “balanced diet” gets thrown around in varying industries these days with nutritionists and dieticians now claiming that most of us don’t actually know what a balanced diet is. So what is it? We’ve all seen the pyramid. We’ve all heard of the two fruit, five vegetables. But a balanced diet goes further than that. We need to make sure that we have a steady intake of the right amounts of certain vitamins, protein, carbohydrates etc. The dreaded “exercise” is always recommended as well. So in a nutshell, a balanced diet will consist of eating the right, nutrient-rich foods in the right quantities. There are many websites and books that provide guidelines for a good balanced diet, so the best thing to do to make sure you are doing the right thing for your body by reading up on some of these articles and/or speaking to your GP, if you have any concerns or questions. Now that we know what a balanced diet is, we can focus on two components of it: Iron and Protein. Iron is absolutely essential to most life on Earth, particularly to you and me. It is one of the most common metals found on the planet as well. The metal is an essential component of proteins involved in Oxygen transport: The majority of the body’s Iron is found in hemoglobin (a protein, in red blood cells, that carries Oxygen to tissues). Iron is also found in myoglobin, that helps supply Oxygen to our muscles and can also be found in Enzymes that help in biochemical reactions. What happens if I don’t get enough Iron? Well you may find that the body doesn’t transport the Oxygen you breathe efficiently enough to maintain high energy levels and immunity. To ensure enough Iron is consumed, but not “too” much, the following foods are a great source: Chicken, oysters, beef, turkey, white flesh fish and pork. Let’s not forget about Protein. The above mentioned foods, as well as eggs, are also a great source of protein, and you will find that anyone who wants to increase muscle mass will focus a lot of their attention to these foods. But what exactly is protein? Brain cells, skin and muscle are just a few parts of the body that are protein based-basically nearly all of our dry weight (keep in mind we are about 70% water)! Once protein is consumed, the proteins release amino acids which in turn create more proteins. These new proteins are then converted into different hormones or used as an energy source. So, now that we know all this, a good question to ask is “How do I get Iron and Protein in one great tasting snack?” The answer is simple: A delicious Mrs Mac’s Spinach & Ricotta Roll!

The Spinach provides a great start to your daily Iron and Protein requirements and the Ricotta will not only add the creamy taste and texture that your taste buds will love, but it also gives you a Vitamin A and Calcium boost. Smooth, rich Ricotta cheese combined with Spinach, mixed herbs and spices, wrapped in golden pastry to create a 140g incredible treat! Make sure you try one today. And remember…. if it’s not a Mrs Mac’s, take it back! Source:

The sustainable choice for your menu When you’re looking for an ingredient that performs in your kitchen time and time again, it would be hard to overlook tuna. You could almost say it’s the ultimate fast food – it’s versatile, convenient, popular, tastes great and is even good for you. But sustainability of our seafood, in particular tuna, is an issue that concerns many Australian consumers and chefs. So how do you ensure you’re providing your customers with great tasting, quality tuna that’s also environmentally responsible? The good news is that once again Greenseas is leading the way with their multi faceted approach to sustainable fishing practices. In 1991, they were the first canned tuna brand to adopt dolphin-friendly fishing methods, an initiative we now take for granted thanks to their forward thinking. They source Skipjack tuna, which is the only sustainable tuna species, and they provide financial support to the Oceanic Fisheries Programme to help protect marine biodiversity in the Western Central Pacific Ocean.

no added flavours or colours and no preservatives. It’s high in protein and low in fat, contains valuable vitamins and minerals, and has long chain Omega-3 fatty acids, all of which assist to maintain active brain function and a healthy heart. And because they understand your foodservice needs, Greenseas Tuna Chunks in Springwater comes in a handy 1kg foil pouch that’s easy to open, doesn’t require draining and has a long shelf life, offering you flexibility and reduced labour costs. So if you’re looking for a healthy, sustainable tuna for your menu, Greenseas could be your answer.For more information go to www.greenseas.com.au or call 1800 037 058.

They’ve now announced they’re going to be 100% FADFree by the end of 2015. FAD fishing is a method that’s responsible for catching not only the targeted tuna, but also juvenile fish, Yellowfin, Bigeye, Bluefin and other marine species, potentially damaging the future of those species. This commitment to excellence in sustainability also extends to their finished product. Greenseas Tuna Chunks in Springwater is superior quality, 99% fat free and has

Bringing residents together to boost nutrition Throughout our life meals are about sharing and enjoying the pleasures of food. No matter what our age eating is a social activity and this is especially the case for the elderly. The social-psychological aspects of food play a critical role in the quality of life for older people. In fact eating alone has been associated with lower dietary intakes than eating with friends or family1 .Elderly people living alone are less likely to cook for themselves or pay much attention to the food they eat.2 It has been shown that when meals are eaten with a group of people the meal eaten can be up to 46 % larger than a meal eaten alone, and that the more people there are at the meal, the greater the intake3. That is why in residential care bringing residents together for a meal brings the opportunity for recreational and social interaction that can have a positive effect on well being. It is recommended that to meet nutritional requirements older people need to eat at least three meals a day and this can be encouraged by eating in a social environment4. For those residents with a reduced appetite, companionship at a meal can be part of the strategy to enhance food intake in residents.

recipes. A Dietitian can help ensure that your recipes and menu meet the nutritional requirements of your residents. Recipes also need to take into the account the reductions in both taste and smell of the elderly. Loss of these senses can result in alterations in food intake and can increase the risk of malnutrition in the elderly.

SPC Armona - Tomatoes A rich source of lycopene and now available in new alternate packaging formats. Fruit and vegetable products contain many substances which are known to be beneficial for our health. One of these compounds is Lycopene. Lycopene is an antioxidant found within the red pigments of food and can be found in tomatoes, watermelon and grapefruit. Lycopene is thought to be associated with the reduction of chronic diseases such as some forms of cancer1,2; specifically prostate cancer3,4. Better yet, did you know that cooked tomatoes contain lycopene in a form that our body can easily digest; Cooking and crushing tomatoes and serving in oil-rich dishes (such as spaghetti sauce or pizza) greatly increases assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream - the heat causes lycopene to be absorbed for our body to use.1,4 So why not add some lycopene to your diet? SPC provides high quality tomato varieties including the #1 selling SPC Chunky Crushed – Chef’s Choice in both an A10 can and innovative 3kg pouch packaging. The transition from traditional metal cans to recyclable pouches is gradually gaining momentum in the Foodservice industry. ÆÆ Although A10 will continue to be the pack of choice in kitchens there are significant and tangible benefits in also utilizing plastic pouches. ÆÆ This includes the following ÆÆ Less storage space required, saving up to 25% in space compared to 3 x A10 cans. ÆÆ Increased food safety and reduced product liability. There are no sharp or hard edges to contend with, less likelihood of personal injury if product is dropped, no RSI from can openers and no foreign materials from metal slivers or shavings. ÆÆ Environmental sustainability as pouches are fully recyclable and have a smaller footprint with a significant reduction in land fill ÆÆ Ease of disposal as less space is required. Flexible flat pouches reduce volume by up to approximately 1/20th and are only 22% of the weight Next time you plan a recipe rich in the antioxidant lycopene consider SPC Chunky Crushed Tomatoes Chefs Choice & Pizza Pasta Sauces in the new 3kg pouch format.

The Pickle Gallery It is truly inspiring to see the happy faces of the workers busily working away making quality jams and relishes from the freshest of produce... The Pickle Gallery is an Australian Disability Enterprise of St Laurence Community Services Inc which operates from an accredited, commercial grade kitchen in Queen Street, Colac. Originally created to provide cooking experience for people with disabilities, the quality of the product soon began to drive demand for more. When demand so quickly outgrew supply, something had to be done. In early 2011, a move was made into a bright new commercial kitchen which allowed for increased production. We stand behind the quality and variety of our product. We are proud of the opportunity afforded to people with disabilities to participate in meaningful, valued employment. People with disability make up the majority of staff working at The Pickle Gallery. So when you purchase from us, you not only acquire outstanding quality and taste you also contribute to real employment of people with disability. Our products are made using traditional recipes and traditional cooking methods. There are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. All of The Pickle Gallery products have the added benefit of being gluten free. Not only does The Pickle Gallery operate as a true commercial enterprise so that real experience is provided to the supported employees, all profits

made from this venture are distributed directly back into the community via St Laurenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community support programs. It is truly inspiring to see the happy faces of the workers busily working away making quality jams and relishes from the freshest of produce. We love The Pickle Gallery and we just know that you will too.

Food supplements: which protein is best? With so much supplementation present in our acute and aged care sectors, it’s interesting to review the best means of effecting positive change in this practice... The role of supplementation in aged and acute care is well documented and the practice of increasing energy, protein and micronutrient intake in residents and patients is well established here and overseas. Recent investigations by Prime Nutrition indicate that around 15% of all patients in public hospitals are on dietary supplementation while the figure in the aged care sector is double that for high care residents. With so much supplementation present in our acute and aged care sectors, it’s interesting to review the best means of effecting positive change in this practice. Australian dieticians/scientists, Beryl Dawson, Jayne Taylor and Emmanuel Favaloro published a detailed review of the role of protein in the journal Nutrition and Dietetics published by John Wiley and Sons Publications (2008; Volume 65, pages 151-156). Their review cited some 47 peer reviewed scientific papers covering the role of protein in our diet and came up with some valuable input into the issue of nutrition for the elderly. They stated “Nutritional supplementation offers an additional protein source to improve nutritional status and is frequently used to assist rehabilitation. Supplementation can reduce the number of non-elective readmissions (in hospitals), improve the rate of pressure ulcer healing…”, and in conjunction with

some forms of physical exercise, counteract muscle weakness of physical frailty. They also reviewed the best forms of protein and concluded that whey protein concentrate was the most beneficial of the commonly available sources of protein. “Whey protein is more quickly digested…and thus provides a better net source of available nutrients and essential amino acids. Supplementation with whey based protein, comparatively rich in branch chain amino acids, may therefore provide the best health outcomes in those requiring supplementation.” Prime Nutrition uses whey protein concentrate as its primary source of protein in its powdered supplement, Enprocal. This product was developed in Australia with input from leading aged care dietitians and is made here using mostly locally produced ingredients. Its high whey protein content makes it unique in the world of food supplements and its flavour neutrality and nutrient density allow it to be used in foodservice applications such as soup, porridge and texture modified foods, as well as beverages. Information about Prime Nutrition and Enprocal is available on the website www.primenutrition.com.au or direct toll free phone number 1800 257 650.
