Developing New Food Products for a Changing Marketplace

Book Overview

Written by world class authorities, this volume discusses formulation, sensory, and consumer testing, package design, commercial production, and product launch and marketing. Offering the same caliber of information that made the widely adopted first edition so popular, the second edition introduces new concepts in staffing, identifying and measuring consumer desires, engineering scale-up from the kitchen, lab, or pilot plant; and generating product concepts. Applying insights from real life experience, contributors probe the retail environment, covering optimization, sensory analysis, package design, and the increasingly important role of the research chef or culinologist(TM) in providing the basic recipe.
