Why Choose Food Research Lab'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. Food Research Lab's Food Research Lab 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 Food Research Lab 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.

Organic Cold Pressed Oils Extraction Process

in What Science Can Do

Comments

Alternative extraction methods are used due to the disadvantages of the solvent extraction method, which is hazardous and expensive, and causes significant environmental damage. Mechanical systems are used for a variety of reasons, including the aim to acquire high-quality crude oil, environmental concerns, and the system’s adaptability to continuous processes. Mechanical oil extraction has several advantages, including ease of use, rapid realisation of the process, which results in a short process time, use of small quantities of raw materials, application of various oilseeds, and low cost. Also, as a by-product protein, rich press cake is obtained.

Cold press machine has one inlet that seeds were feed and two exits that obtained oil and a non-oiled cake was exit. In the cold pressing method, the pre-treatment and process parameters applied to the raw material have a significant impact on oil yield. Peeling, drying, solvent, or enzymatic treatment of raw material are examples of pre-processes; process parameters include feeding rate, restriction dye diameter, temperature, and cold rotation speed. Expellers, expanders, and twin-cold systems are the three types of cold presses. Twin-cold systems are now in operation in the laboratory and on a pilot scale, and optimization studies have gained traction. Soybean and cottonseed oil are also employed in the manufacturing of oil from raw materials that do not have a high oil content. The most popular form of cold press is this one. The heating system has become more versatile in response to the use of cold or hot presses. With the spinning cold, the oil separated from the cake is extracted from the slot between the metal bars set at regular intervals.
