Why Choose Guires's FRL as Your Food Product Development (FPD) Consultant and Partner?

There are several options in almost every product area in today’s market, and the difficulty is in coming up with unique items that stand out and connect with customers. Guires Food Research Lab (FRL) takes a holistic approach to creating food and beverage products. We define, demographically target, and build effective goods through a sequential process for category selection and comprehension. The client can visit the lab to learn the process. We offer unlimited rounds of revisions to ensure customer satisfaction. The final product prototype, along with the documentation process, including the video (through email), will be shipped to the client, and in case the client is not satisfied with the video, a food technology consultant will visit the place for the product demo at the client’s costs.

What are the different forms that you deliver the Food Product Formulations?

The food industry is witnessing a new form of consumption. Keeping that in mind, we can formulate the products in the form of ready-to-eat, ready-to-drink, ready-to-mix, ready-to-serve, and ready-to-cook food products. We use ingredients that offer an added value to the development and improve its indulgence and sustainability in terms of its functional ingredients, plant-based food dyes, and natural preservatives with a clean label.

What are the sectors Food Research Lab cover?

We cover a wide range of sectors such as soups, sauces and dips, chips, tortillas, dry beverage powder, plant-based products, masalas, puddings, instant mixes and many more.

How is sensory testing been carried out?

Our sensory examination leads to the precise formulation and recipe recommendations. We develop data-driven design models based on sensory research and customer insights. The fact-based design methodology used by Guires reduces risk and gives our clients market confidence while cutting development time in half. With our dedicated sensory lab facility, our team takes satisfaction in creating and optimizing successful products in the marketplace, generating a favourable return on investment, and developing brand advocates.

Comments

Bio-nanocomposites are bio-based polymers made up of two main components: a matrix termed biopolymer (continuous phase) and a reinforcing agent (dispersed phase) with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nm. These include typical properties including flexibility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness, which can be strengthened further by the reinforcing components.

Nanotechnology is concerned with the characterisation, manufacturing, and manipulation of biological and nonbiological entities with dimensions of less than 100 nanometers. The functional features of structures on this scale have been demonstrated to be distinct and original. Consequently, interest and activities in this research area have greatly increased over the past years. Nanotechnology, according to the National Nanotechnology Initiative, is the study and management of matter with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena allow for novel applications. Nanotechnology involves viewing, measuring, modelling, and manipulating matter at this length scale, and it encompasses nanoscale science, engineering, and technology.Nanotechnology recently introduced in the food packaging industry can potentially provide solutions tofood packaging challenges such as short shelf life. Food packaging materials generated from nanotechnology are the most common type of nanotechnology use in the food industry today.
