Development of a Vegan Soft Serve Frozen Dessert and Mix from Oats

总部位于萨斯喀彻温省的Oatdeal是一家燕麦饮料和饮料添加剂的制造商和营销商，目前在北美销售其产品。该公司正在寻求开发创新的新产品，以扩大其业务。他们感兴趣的一个领域是开发一种纯素燕麦软甜点和混合物的可能性。有数量有限的纯素软服务配方和混合物是商业上可获得的，这些配方都没有使用燕麦。大多数纯素配方都是基于大豆，椰子，大米和其他坚果奶，这是必要的添加脂肪，乳液和奶油的产品。我们的目标是开发一种纯素软服务配方/混合物，含有燕麦和豆类，并且可以将配方与水，椰子或其他植物基牛奶混合。该项目的挑战将是开发一种配方，复制所有的感官/放纵性质的乳制品为基础的软服务。与NAIT及其学术合作伙伴合作的机会将使Oatdeal能够获得烹饪和食品科学专业知识的独特组合。

Saskatchewan-based Oatdeal is a manufacturer and marketer of oat-based beverages and beverage additives, currently selling its products across North America. The company is looking to develop innovative new products in order to expand its business. One area they are interested in is the possibility of developing a vegan oat-based soft serve dessert and mix. There are a limited number of vegan soft serve formulations and mixes that are commercially available, and none of these formulations utilize oats. The majority of vegan formulations are based on soy, coconut, rice, and other nut milks, which are necessary for adding fats, emulsions, and creaminess to the product. Our objective is to develop a vegan soft serve formulation/mix that contains oats and pulses, and that can be made mixing the formulation with water, coconut or other plant based milks. The challenge of this project will be developing a formulation that replicates all of the sensory/indulgence properties of dairy based soft serves. The opportunity to work collaboratively with NAIT and its academic partners will enable Oatdeal to access a unique combination of culinary and food science expertise.
