The CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences (CMIS) division received a NSW State Government Waste Reduction Grant administered though NSW Environment Protection Authority to conduct a study, in conjunction with Green’s Vetta, of “Minimising semolina wastage in pasta manufacture and the elimination of checking”.

The project will be undertaken by members of the Mathematical Modelling of Industrial Processes (MMIP) Project in the CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences (CMIS) division.

More about CMIS as well as the MMIP project can be found on the following Web sites:

Under the terms of that agreement, CSIRO must make public the generic findings of this research in open workshops. Interested cereal chemists, durum wheat breeders, pasta manufacturers, semolina millers and durum wheat growers will be invited to participate in seminars in 2001.

This announcement represents an opportunity for interested people to register for further information.
