Good Enough to Eat. Developing Food Products
Description
Every year, hundreds of new food products make it onto supermarket shelves. Some will be around for years, while others will be discontinued within six months. This program investigates the process involved in developing a new food product: a snack-sized chocolate cake bar. We join the process at the initial design brief discussion between the food technologists. As we follow the steps taken to meet the brief's criteria, we learn about the influence of market surveys, the development and testing of prototypes, the role technology plays in the product's manufacture, and the concurrent task to design a package that meets aesthetic and food-safety requirements.
