The design of various food products focuses on identification of the structure and composition of food ingredients that have the desired characteristics. A thorough understanding of the functions and properties of the various ingredients is the basic key to formulating for the desired attributes. The revealing of structural properties of a food product is the main task of food formulation problem.
Product formulation is the understanding of how materials behave and interact to provide enhanced properties, improved processing and delivery of an active ingredient in a convenient and useable form. If a formulation is not well understood, changes in the local environment or raw materials can have a drastic effect on the quality of the product or its long term stability.
Key aspects of product formulation include dispersion techniques, wetting agents, controlled crystallisation, additives, rheology and surface chemistry. The clever science we put into our products ensures that the active ingredients are evenly dispersed, the formulation is suited to the customers’ application, target loadings are delivered, active ingredients are better used, and stability and shelf life is the best it can be. The environmental safety of our products is of course very important to us, so we also work to ensure formulations avoid harmful ingredients, making your processing safer, and reducing risk.
