Commercial Formulation and Process Development of Plant-Based Protein Confectionery Products

Craving Asia Foods Ltd.，正式名称为Goobi Gummies(GG)，是一家糖果公司，为不列颠哥伦比亚省的成年人生产口香糖。他们的产品系列专注于使用高质量的天然成分来创造全省需求很高的手工产品。GoobiGummies已聘请荷兰大学加拿大最聪明的厨房(CSK)帮助开发一种基于三种原型口味的低糖、高蛋白口香糖的商业配方。该项目将需要研发替代甜味剂、膨胀剂，如菊苣纤维、植物蛋白和风味掩蔽剂，以创造这些独特的口香糖产品。CSK是一家技术获取中心，通过利用食品科学、烹饪、创新以及商业和营销方面的专业知识，积极支持食品和饮料行业的研究和创新。正是这种技能组合帮助公司降低了研发计划的风险，并成功地将产品推向市场。CSK在糖果领域拥有丰富的经验，通过这次合作，将有望开发和扩大一种创新的低糖、高蛋白胶糖的生产，这将是休闲食品市场独一无二的。

Craving Asian Foods Ltd., formally known as Goobi Gummies (GG) is a confectionery company thatmanufactures gummy candy for adults in British Columbia. Their range of products focuses on using highquality natural ingredients to create artisanal products that are in high demand across the province. GoobiGummies has engaged Holland College's Canada's Smartest Kitchen (CSK) for help in developing commercial formulations for a low sugar, high protein-based gummy candy based on three prototype flavours. This project will require R&D into alternative sweeteners, bulking agents, such as chicory fiber, plant proteins and flavour masking agents to create these unique gummy products. CSK, a Technology Access Center, actively supports research and innovation in the food and beverage sector by leveraging expertise in food science, culinarycreativity and business and marketing expertise. It is this combination of skill sets that help companies de-risk their R&D initiatives and get products successfully to market. CSK has significant experience in theconfectionery space and through this collaboration, will expect to develop and scale up production of aninnovative low sugar, high protein gummy candy that would be unique to the snack food market.
