OUR ROLE

The Challenge

What Our client required?

  Ready-to-eat nutritional bar with a shelf life of 6 months.

Assignment: Formulation of a ready-to-eat nutritional bar rich in protein and prepared using whole grains.

Challenges:

Sensory profile of the nutritional bar: The mouthfeel would not be pleasant since it was prepared from whole grains.
Storage: The product should be stored in air-tight containers to prevent moisture absorption that could affect the product’s shelf life and sensory properties.
Nutrition: The product should meet the required nutritional status

What did we do?

Solution:

The sensory aspect of the product: Essences and sweetening agents were used to mask the taste of the grains.
Packaging: Need to work on the packaging to act as a barrier from moisture absorption.
Nutritional evaluation: The nutritional profile met the client’s expectations and proved to be healthy food.
