Case Studies
Problem:
Biotech Company contracts us to neutralize the taste and odor of their proprietary stain of Algae Biomass and Increase Protein yield.
Solution:
- Ensured all pathogens were under control by working with Client’s Quality Control department.
- Created a special method where the odor and taste of algae was neutralized: our solution had a faint odor of grass & chocolate and almost no taste.
- Developed a special rinse and dry process boosting digestibility, significantly increasing the value of the algae biomass as a good source of plant-based protein.
Problem:
Nootopic Start-Up Beverage Company had issues with solubility and bitter taste due to ingredients. Carbonated Co-packer did not want to handle complex blending processed.
Solution:
- We modified an existing process of ours to tackle the solubility issues. Bitter taste was addressed with a flavor system that masked strong herbal notes and lent itself to the final flavor profile.
- Created and processed base ingredients (using processes such as flavor blending and heat sterilization for herbal components) Allows co-packers to simply pour directly from pre-packed and weighed drums Worked with the Client on procuring ingredients and ensuring all QC documents were secured. Process sheets were created and altered for different co-packer’s varying requirements.
Problem:
Mid-Tier Ice Cream Company wanted to enter Gluten-Free/Keto Baked Goods space. Required assistance with creating line extensions that fit with their brand profile and ingredient sourcing.
Solution:
- We created 3 unique SKUs based on their nutritional parameters and consumers preferences.
- Formulas were created to adjust for lack of gluten and high keto content Worked with the Client on procuring ingredients and ensuring all QC documents were secured. Process sheets were created and altered for different co-packer’s varying requirements.
