Components of Functional Food Products Recipe Formulation
Find out about the important components existing to the development of functional foods
Ingredient Selection
The basic core of any winning functional foods product recipe formulation is anchored on quality ingredients.
Flavor and Palatability
Sweeteners and flavoring agents help to improve taste and add the desired taste without a negative effect on the health of the consumers.
Texture and Appearance
Consumers’ acceptance of functional food products depends on their sensory characteristics. Texture modifiers may be used to achieve a desirable mouthfeel, while appealing colors can enhance visual appeal.
Stability and Shelf Life
For any formulated functional food product, the effectiveness of the food product is important and must be consistent in the long run. Stability testing, in some cases, is crucial to ensure that the active ingredients will remain competent with the product’s shelf life.
Process of Functional Food Products Recipe Formulation
Functional foods, functional ingredients, and innovation: a brief discussion on the process of functional food product formulation
01. Research and Development
This stage includes performing thorough market research to identify consumer requirements, developing health trends, and analyzing competitor performance. Research is conducted on bioactive ingredients to determine their potential health effects. The objective in this phase is to create a product concept that meets consumer demand while adhering to regulations to develop a strong basis for formula development.
02. Formulation Development
After conducting the research, expert formulators take the research results and experiment with the functional ingredients to create an initial prototype, using a variety of formulations and concentrations. One challenge in this step is to develop a product that is efficacious and has sensory appeal, including taste, texture, and appearance, while maintaining product integrity and nutritional value. This stage may also include testing the product in different formats, such as beverages, bars, or powders.
03. Testing and Evaluation
Once the prototypes are developed, the product goes through an extensive testing phase, including safety evaluation, shelf life testing, and taste panels with consumers or experts. This phase will usually include collecting feedback from a focus group to gather acceptability and preferences about the product. If the product has proposed health claims, clinical trials, or supported scientific evidence will be conducted to verify the claims and ensure compliance.
04. Finalization
The formula is revised and approved based on testing and feedback results. Manufacturing and scale-up considerations are made to ensure feasibility and consistency for the final product. Package and label considerations are made for consistency and the protection of product integrity and regulatory standards. Technical documentation is prepared for quality, compliance, and timely launch into the market.
