Farm 2 Fork - Modern Product Development - Journey of an Ingredient to Your Table

WEBINAR RECORDING  November 20, 2020

A recipe can be explained as a written set of instructions for preparing a particular dish.


Described another way, a recipe may be understood as something which is likely to lead to a particular outcome… but, how likely is it? What variables affect a successful recipe?

In this presentation we will sit down with Qian Deng from PowderPure to discuss the importance of ingredients and instructions in recipe and product development.

We will also explore the path that an ingredient can take from farm to fork – understanding how manufacturing processes can help to capture seasonality all year long.

This presentation will…

  • Investigate important steps for recipe development
  • Discuss functionality of ingredients
  • Highlight the benefits of innovative processing methods
