    FREDERICTON, NB, July 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Aidee Orozco, Research and Development Corporate Director for McCain Foods Limited, has been recognized by Worldwide Branding for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in team management.

Recognized for nearly 15 years of invaluable contributions to her field, Dr. Orozco parlays her knowledge into her role with McCain Foods Limited, a Canadian food company that manufactures frozen French fries and potato specialties as well as appetizers, oven meals and vegetables for both the retail and foodservice industries. Established in 1957 by brothers, Harrison and Wallace McCain, McCain Foods Limited now operates on six continents with 3,200 farmers and uses 6.5 million tons of potatoes every year - in fact, one in every three French fries in the world is a McCain fry.

Currently, Dr. Orozco is responsible for leading McCain's Product Development, New Product Development and Process Innovation activities for the Corporate R&D group based in Canada. This includes directing all aspects of technical development of Canada potato and non-potato (desserts, appetizers) innovation and renovation projects, working on new "out-of-the-box" projects aiming for revenue and cost savings, and collaborating with Regulatory, Food Safety and Quality on strategic aspects of new technologies in compliance with Canadian and international laws, as well as McCain's internal policies.

Over the course of her career, she has directed more than 60 innovation projects for international companies, generating around $80MM in cost savings and investment returns (new products and process development and product/process optimizations).

Dr. Orozco outshines others in her field due to a combination of her prior industry experiences and her educational background. In 1995, she received a Bachelor of Applied Science in biochemistry and microbiology from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. Just two years later, she received a master's degree in chemistry with a concentration in food microbiology from the same institution. Most recently, in 2001, she earned a Ph.D. in natural products chemistry and pharmacognosy from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. After many years of success in the industry, Dr. Orozco has had 11 papers published in scientific, peer-reviewed and internationally recognized journals, and another 70 papers used for scientific seminars and lectures.
