Research and Innovation Welcome

Research and Innovation Shelf Life Study Formula Optimization & Scaling Up Organic Gummy Candies Center for Hospitality & Culinary Arts

Research and Innovation  Finalized Formulation Measurements for Lab Batch  Began to finalize ingredients; –Sweeteners; syrups –Stabilizers; starches Progress & Changes

Research and Innovation  Delayed due to; –Canadian Organic Standards –Optimize Gelatin Selection; Kosher/Not Kosher –Company’s Philosophy vs. Optimal Texture and Cost  Real Time vs. Accelerated Time Accelerated Shelf Life Study

Research and Innovation  All agricultural base ingredients must now be changed from ‘Natural’ to ‘Organic’ in order to be ‘certified organic’.  Means changing both flavours and colours  This has increased cost of raw materials by 20%. Canadian Organic Standards

Research and Innovation 1.Pork; most economical, but not kosher 2.Beef; most expensive- kosher 3.Fish; in between costs- kosher pareve 4.Vegan/ Vegetarian based stabilizers; not the optimal ‘traditional gummy’ texture Gelatin

Research and Innovation  Meets Kosher Pareve Standards,  Still remains a gray area; not finalized as a stabilizer  From a textural, cost and ingredient criteria perspective, fish is our best option Fish Gelatin

Research and Innovation  650 g Batch to 8.5 kg Batch  Benefits of Jacketed Kettle; –Increases temperature faster –Less temperature fluctuation –Larger batch mimics closely to manufacturing a Commercial Batches Scaling Up Using Jacketed Kettle
