Question
I have a baked good recipe that I want to commercialize. I need to:
Stabilize flavor
Stabilize shelf life
Scale the recipe for co-packer
I have someone I want to work with that is a trained baker and is knowledgeable
She says she works with a F.S. for what she’s not able to answer.
Should I primarily be working with someone whose a food scientist? Thoughts?
Answer
Ideally yes you would want to work with someone who is a Food Scientist or Chemist who can give appropriate recommendations for preserving the food, multiplying the recipe and etc. Also, depending on your location, there may be differences based on the governing food or agricultural body for requirements to commercialize a recipe or get appropriate licensing. That way you can ensure that you and the baker that you partner with follow necessary protocols and scale the recipe effectively.
