Awards.This is a prestigious award because it indicates that through some
major endeavor the visibility of the dietetics profession has been
enhanced.
This award has been granted as a result of her research, Properties of
Extruded Products from Breadfruit Flour. Compatible Technologies, non
profit organization dedicated to the welfare of underdeveloped nations,
read her publication. As a result, they invited Carmen to further improve
the cereal's nutritional profile so it could be offered for human
consumption and help reduce malnutrition. They succeeded and presently it
is being tested in Haiti.
