Shelf-Life Extension Study - Pusateri's

Pusateri’s Kitchen Limited，以Pusateri’s Fine Foods的名义经营，自1963年以来一直为多伦多社区提供正宗的肉店和优质熟食。今天，他们自豪地通过位于大多伦多地区的五家商店提供各种美食，手工艺品和进口产品。Pusateri's目前销售26种汤和炖菜，他们有兴趣将市场扩大到全省的其他零售店和餐馆，但他们现有的生产方法（主要是手工制作）和保质期（30天）很短，这给他们带来了挑战。Pusateri's寻求与Conestoga的食品加工技术研究所（IFPT）合作进行一项研究项目，以延长其26种汤和炖菜的保质期。IFPT的团队将研究可能的配方和工艺修改，以延长这些汤的保质期。虽然这项研究项目的成果将使Pusateri’s扩大生产规模，促进市场扩张，但IFPT将从培训hqp中受益，hqp将把这些技能传授给加拿大食品工业。

Pusateri's Kitchen Limited, operating as Pusateri's Fine Foods, has served the community in Toronto as anauthentic butcher and a provider of fine prepared foods since 1963. Today, they proudly serve a diversecollection of gourmet, artisanal, and imported products through their five stores located across the GreaterToronto area. Pusateri's currently sells 26 types of soup and stew products and are interested in expanding theirmarket into other retail stores and restaurants around the province but are challenged by their existing - mostlymanual - production method and short (30 days) shelf life.Pusateri's seeks to collaborate with Conestoga's Institute of Food Processing Technology (IFPT) on a researchproject to extend the shelf-life of their 26 soups and stews. The team at IFPT will investigate possible recipeand process modifications to extend the shelf-life of these soups. While the outcome of this research projectwill enable Pusateri's to scale up their production facilitating market expansion, IFPT will benefit from trainingHQPs that will deliver these skills into the Canadian Food Industry.
