The Association for Dressings & Sauces Honors Christopher Zhang of Ingredion Incorporated
The Association for Dressings and Sauces presented their 2024 Technical Achievement Award to Christopher Zhang of Ingredion Incorporated. The announcement was made during the ADS Technical Meeting held in St. Louis, Missouri, May 5-7.
While a relatively recent addition to ADS, Mr. Zhang has made a significant impact in a short amount of time. Presenting “Getting the Most from Yolks: Choosing the Right Egg Yolk Products,” he shared the important considerations of viscosity, emulsions, and taste at the Technical Committee meeting on Sunday.
“We are proud to present the ADS Technical Achievement Award to Christopher Zhang for his dedication and contributions to ADS. His depth of understanding and contributions extend far beyond his tenure. ADS is thrilled to have him as a member and we look forward to learning from his extensive knowledge, commitment, and dedication to food science,” said Rosalee Del campo, Director of Regulatory and Technical Affairs for ADS.
ADS’ Technical Achievement Award is given when outstanding work in furthering the dressing and sauce industry has been accomplished. Nominations for the Technical Achievement Award are taken from the general ADS membership and voted on by the ADS Executive Technical Board, which oversees the association’s technical activities.
“ADS provides the salad dressing and sauces community a space to share ideas, connect, and grow. I am proud to give back to our fellow scientists the best knowledge and expertise our team can provide. It is rare today to see a space where manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and process engineers can come together to address the issues of today and work toward a shared goal. I am truly honored to accept this award, and I credit our team’s ability to unite and create something of value for everyone”, said Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang serves as the R&D Principal Scientist at Ingredion Inc., a leading global ingredients solutions company that has been providing the world’s innovative ingredient solutions for over 100 years.
