Challenge Sanitarium continues to seek innovative ways to expand and enhance its range of plant-based products. As part of this effort, a new formulation is being evaluated for its potential to improve functionality, nutritional value, or consumer appeal. The key challenge is determining whether this formulation meets the necessary criteria for use in commercial food applications, both from a technical and sensory standpoint.
Solution The project involves a structured assessment of the new formulation’s properties and its compatibility with plant-based food systems. This includes evaluating performance in terms of taste, texture, stability, and nutritional profile. The investigation also considers how the formulation could be incorporated into existing products or support the development of entirely new offerings.
Impact This project provided vital data on the functionality of plant based ingredients to deliver desirable mouthfeel and texture.
