Using our onsite range of ingredients from a network of trusted suppliers, we provided a rapid prototyping service. Building on the client’s basic concept, we optimised the formulation to achieve the target health claims and tweaked the flavour profile for maximum consumer appeal. The fact that we were able to see, taste and discuss samples in real time meant we could share instant feedback and refine each iteration, resulting in much faster progress.

Attention was also given to evaluating product performance under manufacturing conditions. Using our benchtop pasteurisation technique, we were able to closely replicate the processing temperatures and assess the organoleptic properties of the prototypes. We could then address any potential issues and help to ensure a successful transition from kitchen sample to full-scale manufacture.
