Step 01
Share Your Vision
Tell us about your product idea and its key characteristics:
- What product do you want to create?
- Who is your target market?
- What is the expected shelf life?
- What is the expected packaging method (if you have already decided)?
- Any ingredients to include or avoid?
- Nutritional requirements per serving and portion size (if you have already decided)?
- Dietary restrictions or preferences to consider
- Desired sensory properties (flavor, texture, aroma, appearance)?
- Haven’t you decided yet? No worries, Let’s discuss and develop the concept after a thorough feasibility analysis.
Step 02
Research and Development
We conduct in-depth research, feasibility analysis and theoretical development based on your inputs:
- Analyze ingredients for suitability, functionality, health benefits, risks, interactions, cost, and regulatory compliance.
- Recommend suitable preservatives and additives, if needed.
- Create a detailed product concept and share it for your feedback before testing.
Step 03
Practical Testing
We run formulation trials to fine-tune your recipe:
- Test and optimize the product to meet nutritional, sensory, and functional criteria.
- Ensure the final product delivers on both quality, functionality and consumer appeal.
- Conduct sensory tests and iterations to ensure the final product is enjoyable for the consume.
Step 04
Deliverables Documentation
You’ll receive a comprehensive package, including:
- Small-scale recipe for initial testing.
- Large-scale, production-ready recipe.
- Step-by-step preparation instructions.
- Quality control parameters and SOPs.
- Shelf-life extension strategies.
- Packaging and storage recommendations.
- Complete nutritional information table.
- A scale conversion table to scale the recipe to different batch sizes.
- Samples of the product prototype (under certain terms & conditions according to your region and type of product)
Step 05
Submission
We provide all deliverables in a clear, easy-to-use format, along with a detailed report of evaluations and recommendations to guide your production.
Step 06
Feedback and Finalization
Review and test the recipe, then share your feedback:
- We’ll refine the formulation based on your comments until it meets your expectations.
- Ongoing support is available until product launch.
