We conduct targeted testing to evaluate the techno-functional properties of ingredients under real-world conditions. This includes (not limited to):
- Solubility
Assessing how well an ingredient disperses in various solutions, critical for beverages, soups, and sauces.
- Gelation
Measuring gelling behaviour under different conditions, key for meat analogues, dairy alternatives, and bakery.
- Foaming
Evaluating foam formation and stability, important for desserts, protein shakes, and confectionery.
- Emulsification
Testing the ability to form and stabilise emulsions, relevant for sauces, dressings, and plant-based products.
- Water & Oil Binding Capacity
Understanding moisture and fat retention, vital for improving texture, succulence, and cook yield.
