Bars

Increasing millennials and young consumers demand taste and on-the-go convenience that meets snacking needs, while active seniors still see bars as a way to boost nutrition on the hiking trail. We offer help in formulating bars in the form of baked, dough-based bars and heat or molten-pressed bars.
Our experts can formulate a bar by incorporating ancient grains and plant protein using new and novel protein sources.

Food Research Lab(FRL) can be the right fit for your Bars product developments because we.

  • FRL can provide a formulation with a variety of dairy, protein, and see proteins available along with our premixes, minerals, crisps, seeds and flavours. We ensure a holistic view of these ingredients in the formulation, such as in the coatings and layers
  • A formula that targets different age groups, gender and disease condition.
  • A formula that meets your nutritional specifications. For instance, to make a front-of-pack claim, protein must be calculated as a complete protein. We use the right ingredient (e.g., soy protein), which has a protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 1.00, equivalent to dairy and egg protein.
  • A formula that meets the macronutrient goals within the sphere of physical and scientific possibility. For instance, the pack of 20g or more protein per serving differentiates bars to stand out from the pack of high protein options.
  • A formula that meets the regulatory requirement that governs food processing, including those established by the FDA, and the EU
  • An evidence-based formula that meets the specific nutritional needs of your targeted consumer base, in keeping with recommended daily amounts (RDA’s) and nutritional experts’ advice
  • Since not all proteins are the same, we need to identify the protein benefit that you want to build your bard. Besides, different proteins react with sugars and fats, and it takes a specific balance of ingredients to meet the perfect bar formulation. combat risk factors for metabolic syndrome and other chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Our bar formulators rebalance nutrient profiles in favour of strategically chosen lipid content with powdered lipids (e.g., medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), MUFA and Omega 3 fatty acids from marine, algae and flaxseeds sources).
  • Our scientists at FRL ensure the Right flavours to your bar formulations, such as Marshmallow, Blueberry, dark chocolate & peanut butter, strawberry, and chocolate.

  • Perform evidence-based research to identify the right ingredient to combat risk factors for metabolic syndrome and other chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Our bar formulators rebalance nutrient profiles in favour of strategically chosen lipid content with powdered lipids (e.g., medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), MUFA and Omega 3 fatty acids from marine, algae and flaxseeds sources).
  • Conduct extensive scientific research and experimental trials to maintain a soft texture during shelf life (e.g., Humectants, such as oligofructose, sorbitol, glycerol)
  • Our scientists ensure that the formulated bar maintains the required structure forming, binding, a variety of textures, taste, and extended shelf-life stability and ease of processing.
  • Unlimited trials of a prototype of Bars
