Food Scientist | Expert in Commercial Scale Food Product Developments

Transforming Food Ideas into Market Ready Innovations. Welcome to ProFoodFormulations! Where Food Science Meets Commercial Success. With a strong academic and industrial foundation in food science, I bring over a decade of experience in developing innovative, commercially viable food and beverage products. I hold an MPhil in Food Science and Technology and a Bachelor's in Animal Science, and I’ve worked with companies around the world formulating snacks, beverages, baked goods, dairy, meat, keto foods, premixes, children's products, functional supplements and nutraceutocles. ProFoodFormulations is the next evolution of this journey, an independent food innovation lab that brings cutting-edge science, clean label strategies, and practical manufacturing solutions under one roof. Here, your food project will be handled with the same care and expertise I’ve applied to my own award-winning and commercialized products. ProFoodFormulations doesn't hold any IP rights of the products developed for you and open to signing NDA before starting. ________________________________________ Proven 6-Step Product Development Process with free of charge first two steps I work with entrepreneurs, startups, and global brands to turn ideas into successful food products. This six step development process ensures scientific integrity, commercial scalability, and consumer appeal: Step 1: Product Brief & Vision : free of charge consultation I begin by understanding your product idea in detail: • Expected product to be developed. • What is your target market? • What is the expected shelf life of the final product? • Do you have any special ingredients you want to include OR exclude in the product? • If there are any nutritional requirements to meet per serving/portion and serving/portion size. • What are the dietary restrictions and ingredient restrictions to consider when developing the product? • An explanation of the expected sensory properties (flavors, texture, mouthfeel, odor, appearance, etc.). Step 2: Concept & Technology Brief: free of charge Based on your goals, I research the best ingredient systems and processing technologies. You’ll receive a free of charge technology brief that outlines a customised development approach, fixed price based budget breakdown, timeline. Then you can review it and ask me to make changes if required to make it perfect for aligning vision before lab work begins. Step 3: Prototype Formulation & Testing This includes theoretical formulation, perform ingredient trials, prototype development, shelf life testing, testing and sensory analysis tests to craft a formulation with excellent flavor, texture, and stability. Step 4: Complete Documentation Package You’ll receive: • Small-scale recipe that you can test at your place. • Commercial production-ready large-scale recipe. • Detailed step-by-step instructions. • Quality control parameters and SOPs. • Shelf life extension strategies. • Packaging and storage recommendations. • Complete nutritional Information table. • The scale conversion table facilitates you to scale the formulation to any batch size. Step 5: Delivery You get everything in an easy to follow format and ready to test formula including small scale recipe, measurements, step by step instructions to test the product.
