Derek Schadle and Stephen O’Brien, both juniors from Fayetteville, won first place for their energy drink, “Skive." |
An energy drink that avoids the “sugar rush” while providing a sustained energy boost won first place for its developers in the University of Arkansas Food and Beverage Innovations competition held during the Ozark Food Processors Association convention March 28.
The competition is co-sponsored by the U of A Department of Food Science and the Ozark Food Processors Association, said Ron Buescher, head of the Department of Food Science at the U of A. Students from the U of A research and develop new food products and develop business and marketing plans for introducing them.

Derek Schadle and Stephen O’Brien, both juniors from Fayetteville, won first place for their product, “Skive.” The name is derived from an English slang term for “relax.” The product is described as “an energizing blend of fruit juices and green tea” that also contains soluble fiber to promote a controlled energy release.
Schadle is a business management major and O’Brien is a biochemistry major. For winning the competition they received a $1,500 prize.
Kenneth Over and Vishal Jain, both of Fayetteville, won second place for their sauce, “Cilantro Pesto.” Both are graduate students in food science. They received a $1,000 prize.
Ashley Swaffar of Farmington and Valerie Brewer of Prairie Grove won third place for “Chicken Noodles,” the first chicken-flavored noodles. They received a $500 prize.
The entries were judged by a panel of food industry professionals: Dennis Sanders of Tyson Foods, Keith Breidt of Wal-Mart New Food Products Section and Sarah Lanning of Consumer Testing Laboratory.
