Research conducted by Dr. Noor Shazliana Aizee Abidin from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology (FKTK), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), has resulted in a collaboration with Syarikat YA Harumanis Maju Enterprise to develop Harumanis Milk and Chocolate products. This collaborative effort serves as a solution to address the challenge of surplus poor-quality and substandard Harumanis fruit produced by local farmers.
By leveraging expertise in food technology and innovation, Dr. Noor Shazliana Aizee Abidin and the research team at UniMAP have contributed to the development of value-added products using surplus Harumanis mangoes. Through this collaboration, Harumanis Milk and Chocolate products have been formulated, offering a novel way to utilize excess fruit and reduce food waste.
The partnership between FKTK UniMAP and Syarikat YA Harumanis Maju Enterprise underscores the importance of academia-industry collaboration in addressing agricultural challenges and promoting sustainability. By transforming surplus Harumanis mangoes into marketable food products, this initiative not only adds value to the agricultural supply chain but also benefits local farmers and contributes to the development of innovative food solutions for consumers.
