My poster project is based on the Rich History of Cannoli. I conducted an Empirical Research which is research based on the collection of data that I implemented reading books, articles, visiting bakeries and making cannoli at home. I decided to research cannoli because it is an Italian pastry that was originated in two different cities in the same region Palmero and Caltanissetta, it’s made differently in different places, and I also researched it to discover the extension of its shelf life. The presence of ricotta cheese which is used to fill cannoli is what limits the pastry’s shelf life. Adding natural antimicrobial agent, lemon extract to ricotta is my discovery to prevent its deterioration.

Napoleons, Beef Wellington, and Apple Turnovers. Although all drastically different, these dishes share an ingredient. Puff pastry. Puff pastry has great range in its uses and applications.

Through market and consumer research, I found that puff pastry is currently being used for small breakfast/dessert items that are simple and nostalgic. Since consumers’ tastes are constantly evolving, regular market research is necessary.

My research project aims to introduce psychedelic therapy and its effects as a new mental health treatment alternative.

I wanted to showcase the effectiveness of this therapy and hope to educate and open the minds of those interested in this groundbreaking treatment. With the ongoing clinical trials and astonishing outcomes, psychedelic therapy may very well be the future of medicine.
