Our Process
Foodsure assists food brands and startups in creating structured plant-based meat analogue products to be commercially viable. A systematic development strategy will provide us with the correct protein structure, flavour profile and scalability of production at compliance and quality standards.
1. Idea Validation
The first step we make is to know your product concept, meat analogue format, target consumers, nutritional positioning and the pricing strategy. Feasibility is determined on ingredient functionality, processing method and manufacturing scale.
2. Product Concept Development
Strategy formulation aims at choosing plant proteins, binders, fat systems and flavour profiles to recreate meat-like properties. As an example, the vegan meat recipe development is aimed at the imitation of taste and texture, and to obtain the best protein structure and chewiness, soy chunk processing is performed.
3. Ingredient Selection and Prototyping
Soy protein, pea protein, and substitutes of wheat protein, as well as plant fats, are tested in terms of functionality, the formation of texture and processing stability. Prototypes are controlled and designed to test the structure, mouthfeel, flavour absorption and cooking behaviour.
4. Formulation Optimisation
The essential parameters like protein hydration, texture building, flavour binding and moisture retention are optimised. Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations and export compliance are matched with the documentation and labelling of products.
5. Sensory, Stability & Packaging Testing
There is taste, aroma, texture and acceptability of the product that is tested by the senses. Stability and packaging compatibility test guarantees the performance of shelf-life and safety of a product during storage and distribution.
6. Commercial Scale-Up & Manufacturing Alignment
Pilot production batches ensure the extrusion performance, consistency, and reproducibility of the batch. Processing parameters are set to maximise the large-scale production equipment whilst they sustain the same quality.

Food Product Development Project Timeline
At Foodsure, a food product development timeline starts with market research and concept finalisation, and if necessary, goes to recipe development, lab trials, and sensory validation. After that, shelf life testing is conducted, FSSAI compliance checks are run in parallel, costing and COGS are finalised, and the product is validated through a pilot run of 50-500 kg.
This well-organised method covers all stages of work from ensuring the product is technically feasible, getting it ready for the regulations, keeping the costs under control, and the last step being the commercial production.
