Study Notes
Food 2192: Introduction to Food Product Development - Technical Development Process
- Course focuses on introduction to food product development and the technical development process.
- The technical development process involves a series of stages: Idea Generation, Idea Screening, Concept Development & Testing, Market Analysis, Technical Development, Scale-up, Market Testing, and Commercialization.
- Development process progresses from the product idea to a final product that is ready for marketplace testing.
- Key stages include processing, distribution, storage, and handling
- Sensory evaluation (subjective testing) vital for product development, matching the sensory experience with the product.
- Objective testing crucial, using equipment like viscometers, texture analyzers, and colorimeters.
- Technical development involves product formulation, process optimization, and packaging development.
- Shelf-life study important for product development, balancing quality and longevity.
- Process optimization considerations include yield determination from the development process and the net weight consistency between pilot plant and production scale.
- Key factors to consider in choosing the right process: product-specific characteristics, food quality, distribution chain, and energy.
- Food safety considerations, including microorganisms and factors affecting their growth (food, acidity, temperature, time, oxygen, moisture)
NPD Stages (New Product Development)
- Idea Generation: Generating new product ideas.
- Idea Screening: Evaluating ideas to select the most promising ones.
- Concept Development & Testing: Developing the concept and testing its attributes.
- Market Analysis: Analyzing the market to understand demand and competition.
- Technical Development: Improving the product formulation, processes, and packaging.
- Scale-up: Scaling up production from small-scale tests to larger production processes.
- Market Testing: Testing the product in a real-world market setting.
- Commercialization: Bringing the product to the market.
Examples of Product Development Stages
- Crispiness in frying or baking of crisps/crackers, viscosity in fermented milk (e.g., set yogurt vs stirred yogurt), color change due to heat processing or acid/alkali addition.
Criteria for Choosing the Right Production Process
- Product-specific traits, food safety considerations, factors impacting product quality (food quality, distribution chain, energy).
Distribution Chain
- Storage conditions (refrigerated vs. shelf-stable vs. desert conditions).
- Transport modes (trucks, air, ships).
- Product handling by distributors, stores, and customers.
Packaging Development
- Packaging plays roles in protection, containment, identification, and marketing.
- Packaging design impacts shelf life, product safety, and consumer experience (e.g., aesthetic appeal, informational content).
- Important to consider factors like time and temperature dependence of the product, types of processing and quality preservation attributes, target consumers, functional and aesthetic aspects when designing packaging.
Shelf Life Definition
- Shelf life is defined as the time frame during which a product remains acceptable for consumption, maintaining quality and integrity, and not being misbranded or adulterated, according to the National Food Processors Association’s definition.
- Maintaining food quality and product longevity are crucial for shelf life.
Key Considerations for Food Safety
- Food processing needs to target relevant microorganisms that cause food to become unsafe for consumption (e.g., food, acidity, temperature, time, oxygen, moisture).
