Addressing your needs or challenges
This step begins by thoroughly understanding your requirements, needs, and challenges. After a series of comprehensive discussions with your team and ours, we’ll gather information about the desired product attributes and limitations you may face before coming up with a solution.
Formulate
Based on the gathered information, the formulation stage begins. Kerr by Ingredion’s team works closely with you to develop a customized formulation that addresses your specific needs. This stage involves selecting and combining ingredients, while considering factors such as functionality, sensory attributes, nutritional benefits, and desired product claims. And, we’re able to tap into Ingredion’s resources and expertise to expand our capabilities.
Prototype
Once the formulation is finalized, the next step is to make your product development dreams become a reality. Feedback and adjustments will be made during this stage to ensure the prototype aligns with your expectations.
