Challenge: Identify solutions to for value engineering condiments through the use of alternative ingredients, alternative processing or supply chain reliability.
Client: Global FMCG manufacturer
Background: The products are a range of condiments including low pH emulsions and heated treated sauces. Value, sustainability and supply chain security are pertinent issues that require constant attention. The challenge is therefore to identify novel solutions that can extend the value of the product through the use of ingredients, processing, shelf-life extension, supply chain security and sustainability.
Goal: Ingredients and technologies that can be utilised for maximising cost efficiency and value engineering condiments, achieve shelf-life extension and/or offer options and flexibility relating to improved supply chain robustness. Sustainability, in this challenge, means utilizing sustainable ingredients or methods with the purpose of creating a longer shelf-life product, and hence, reducing waste. Supply chain robustness, in this challenge, means providing options to overcome supply chain issues related to environmental events, conflicts, trade agreements etc. This client is looking for:
- Ingredients or technologies to extend the shelf-life of condiments such as mayonnaise, ketchups or variants of these products.
