Savoury Dry Products
Savoury Dry Products are ambient stable mixes of diverse ingredients Culinary attributes are most relevant for a positive consumer perception Customer and consumer are expecting a consistent quality all the time.
The following ingredient functionality concept helps to cluster raw
materials according to their contribution to culinary product attributes.
Culinary and physical properties of ingredients were linked together by bridging with the drying technologies behind.
Physical properties of ingredients and mixes have a dominant impact on quality variations and the efficiency in all manufacturing steps

Product
Attributes
• An attribute is a property of a food that the customer desires.
• Most customer are looking for multiple attributes in a food
• Consumer interest is growing for vitality, nutrition and some
more emotional attributes.
• Functional attributes like preparation times, easy to open
packaging must be also considered.
• All attributes are based on the selection of appropriate raw
materials, process steps and packaging material.
Trang 5SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
Ingredients Functionality
Concept
• Ingredients for a formulation must be selected to deliver
optimum quality performance at least cost
• A valuable function is delivered by an ingredient when it
contributes to at least one product attribute
• Most raw materials have more than one function in a product
• The same ingredients may provide different functionality at different steps in the manufacturing process
• Interactions can change the functionality of an ingredients
• All ingredients should fit together like pieces of a puzzle
• A developer should be able to explain the function and impact
of each raw material in a formulation for their final
performance

Binding
Ingredient functionality:
Binding
A binding Ingredient delivers the viscosity (thickness) to a product
Binding ingredients are from the group of carbohydrates
Starches from grains (corn, wheat), tapioca and potato are most common
Native starches contain different ratios of Amylose and Amylopectin
Physically modified starches are available as cold swelling binders
Chemical modified starches (E-Numbers) are designed for optimal performance for diverse functions Heat or shear stability of starches are important
characteristic in wet processes like retorting or UHT

Ingredient functionality:
Fats & Oils
• Fats and Oils have a complex impact
• on the performance of other functionalities
• Culinary functions:
• to influence the retention and release of flavour compounds
• to deliver flavour e.g olive oil, sesame oil, chicken fat
• to give creamy mouthfeel and fullness
• to deliver fat eyes on the surfaces of clear soups
• to enhance whitening effects in emulsions
Fats & Oils
Trang 15SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
• Technical functions:
• to carry fat soluble flavour compounds, colours and vitamins and protect them against oxidation
• to bind dusty powders
• to coat hygroscopic powders or granules
• to prevent stickiness
• to support binding and shaping
Fats & Oils
Trang 16SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
• Oils & fats consist of a chemical combination of glycerol with maximum 3 fatty acids: Mono-, Di-, and Triacylglycerols
• Pure Glycerides are colourless, tasteless, odorless and water insoluble substances
• Any colour, odor, taste or antioxidant properties are due to non-glycerides
Ingredient functionality:

• Ingredients providing a creaming function
• Creamer are mostly spray dried powders based on emulsions of proteins, carbohydrates and fat
• Milk powders, cream powder and coffee whitener are examples
• In Savoury Creamers, milk fat is replaced by vegetable oils
• Heat and acid stable Savoury Creamer can be designed for dry or wet applications

Nutrition
Ingredient functionality:
Nutritional Benefit
Nutritional benefits are linked to
Basic compounds (macronutrients, energy)
Essential compounds (vitamins, amino acids, minerals, essential fatty acids )
Functional compounds (plantsterols e.g cholesterol lowering)
Nutritinal benefits can be added via:
single compounds
special raw materials
Most of the already discussed
ingredients contain nutritional benefits !

Basic Formulation Principles
1 - define product features
2 - identify required functionalities
3 - select suitable raw materials
4 - develop prototypes
5 - check consumer preferences
6 - finalise formulation
Trang 22SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
Basic Formulation Principles
• “THE HEART OF ANY PRODUCT IS IN ITS INGREDIENT COMPOSITION”
• Validated Consumer insight should drive product design
• Initial screening and feasibility testing required
• Select a starting “Recipe”
• Transfer to a product formula
• Test compatibility with process
• Every ingredient will have an influence on both:
– the processing
– final characteristics of the finished product
• Need to understand ingredient interactions with:
– Local water quality, added food component
– and varying preparation mode

Trang 25SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
Shelf life of a dry product is the period of time after production it will retain a required level of quality organoleptically and safety wise, under stated
conditions of storage
The prediction of shelf life and the criteria for the determination of the end
of shelf life are dependent on the changes of defined product properties which have influence on the degree of acceptability by the consumer
Foods represents dynamic chemical systems that are constantly changing
Essentially, the shelf life of a dry food product is a characteristic of the food and its packaging, and is the result of the
influence of a number of factors
What is Shelf Life?
Trang 26SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
Changes during shelf life are influenced by
• Ingredient (composition, age ) - Packaging material
• Product formulation - Storage conditions
• Water activity value - Distribution
• pH value and acidity - Consumer handling
Trang 27SAVOURY FOUNDATION COURSE
• Changes during shelf life are based on physical, chemical and biochemical
reactions
• Physical reactions: Chemical reactions:
• Evaporation/loss of volatiles - Component interaction
• Caking/ lumping - Maillard reactions
• Phase separation - Oxidation/reduction

Savoury Products are systems build from ingredients with divers functionality
Every ingredient has an impact on the final quality perceived by consumers
The puzzle should be well designed
7 = Year of Production
263 = Day of Production
Long stable DRY products need:
• ideal water activity
• no active enzymes
• protective packaging
