1. Helping Food Technology Experts
with Global Efforts

2. Learn How Food Technology
Experts Use SmartDraw
I recently had the unique opportunity to meet up with Brian Smith, food technologist
and founding partner of the consultancy firm, Booth Smith Food Technology. Based
out of the UK, Brian along with his team of food technology experts, provide advisory
services to companies across the globe.
As a SmartDraw user for over 12 years, Brian has been and continues to meet the
needs of his clients using SmartDraw for process documentation, food factory layouts
and designs, to patent applications. In this week's post, I'll share with you a few of
Brian's diagrams along with some advice for our new users who have recently joined
our SmartDraw user community.
This presentation is inspired by the SmartDraw Blog post entitled,
“Helping Food Technology Experts with Global Efforts”

3. Applying for a Patent
Originally grown in the Middle
East and North Africa, the
Medjool date is a tree fruit that
can be grown in a number of
desert-like regions around the
world.
Medjools are considered the
diamond of dates. They are
prized for their large size,
extraordinary sweetness and
chewy texture even when dried.
They can be enjoyed on their
own as a healthy snack or as an
ingredient.

Booth Smith Food Technology is highly active in developing countries throughout the world. They help emerging
production industries in an effort to increase efficiency as well as satisfy demand, both domestic and for export.
In doing so, there is a high demand for specialized equipment and machinery to be built. As result, they often
apply for patents.

5. Assisting the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization in Tanzania
Booth Smith Food Technology is often tasked with presenting
concepts as well as diagrammatic layouts to build new food factories.
As experts in the field of food technology, Brian and his colleagues are
to ensure that the food products are produced safely, legally and are
of the quality claimed.
In 2009, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization
hired Booth Smith Food Technology to assess, develop, and design a
Halva, or Halawah, factory for a UN project in Tanzania. Using the
Tahini and Halawah Manufacturing Plant diagram as well as a live
demonstration, Brian successfully taught a group of sesame seed
farmers the Halawah manufacturing process.
“I use these for scale drawings too so I can hand over to CAD drawing
experts a schematic which has all the basics worked out.”
Halva is a sweet confection that is traditionally served
with a strong coffee or tea. There are two types: one is a
flour-based concoction, and the other uses finely ground
nuts as its base.
