Streamlining Product Development By Using Protein Functionality Testing On-Demand Webinar

Join us as we explore key test methods designed to evaluate a protein ingredient’s application potential—its functionality fingerprint. This webinar showcases how these tests can drive product innovation, benefiting both ingredient suppliers and CPG clients. Real-world examples and case studies are shared to demonstrate how this approach has brought these insights to life.
Key Highlights
- Need for Protein Functionality Characterization: Innovation in raw material development and sourcing, plus a concerted effort by protein ingredient suppliers to optimize ingredients and enhance overall functionality has led to a need for product developers to quickly evaluate the performance potential of any protein ingredient.
- Relevance of Functionality Testing for Food Applications: Review the different functionalities tested and their relevance to different product platforms and unit operations that are critical for product design.
- Versatility of Use for Ingredient Suppliers and CPGs: Suppliers can use these tests as part of their ingredient development process, opportunity identification and sales team support. CPG’s can streamline R&D by creating a database of fully characterized protein ingredients, then sorting best performers as a function of core functionality per application/product platform.
