Formulating for Foodservice [Foodservice] Vol. 20 No. 2 February 2010 ww Formulating for Foodservice By Charlie Baggs, Contributing Editor The market for manufacturing products for foodservice is dynamic and full of opportunities. A product- development team has many areas to focus upon, including flavor building, nutritional management, cost and operational limitations. And although each foodservice client will pose unique challenges, with a dedicated and targeted approach to product development, the process can be very efficient. Initial steps Regardless of whether a food will be cooked in a A Formulating for Foodservice Case Study: manufacturing facility or in the back of the house, Strongbow Solutions formulators need to start with a gold standard that should Strongbow Inn, Valparaiso, IN, has many great menu be mirrored in the finished product.

It had a very intense roasted turkey flavor with through flavor or via a cooking process, or perhaps a delicate mirepoix undertones. combination of both. Cooking techniques like caramelizing, braising, marinating, smoking and battering —Peter Hargarten, Director of Research and in a finished product that’s ready for back-of-the-house Development, Integrative Flavors speed-scratch preparation can save restaurants a great deal of time and money—and deliver a consistent product every time. Every aspect of the product needs to be taken into consideration. For instance, if a product is marinated, you will have to consider how it will affect the ultimate color of cooked product. If there are any www.foodproductdesign.com Page 1 [Foodservice] Vol. 20 No. 2 February 2010 sugars in the pump, then the product will get darker as it cooks from the carbohydrates caramelizing or the sugars and protein participating in Maillard browning. Sometimes a manufacturer will work with a foodservice client to determine the best way to execute a cooking technique at the operator level. In those cases, the goal is to set up the best operational procedures to execute consistent cooking every time. Developing a familiarity with the operator’s back-of-the-house capabilities is of utmost importance. Many foodservice products—particularly at the chain level—are value-added, and the finishing touches are applied at the operator level, such as distributing a heat-and-eat center-of-the-plate protein, its sauce and garnish separately, and then retherming and assembling them just prior to service. These speed-scratch items may be easier for operators to deliver consistently and save preparation time, but will tend to cost a bit more. So the food cost may be higher with a speed-scratch product. However, the labor cost in the back of the house will be lower, perhaps balancing the equation. A matter of taste The ultimate flavor of a product will directly affect its quality, and its perception and cravability—attributes that will help get consumers back in the door. When developing the gold standard—and later, matching it— determining the right acidity, saltiness, flavor and texture, color, and sweetness are all important and require balance. A food’s acidity can brighten up the taste experience. Several acidic ingredients are useful in recipes, including lemon juice, lime juice and various vinegars, like rice-wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple-cider vinegar and malt vinegar. The idea is to allow the flavor to come through in a recipe while highlighting the balance of taste to stimulate the palate. Sweet ingredients, like granulated or caramelized sugar, agave nectar, honey, apple- or pear-juice concentrate, and molasses, to name a few, will help control the impact of bitter taste and maximize flavor. Texture comes into play in a formulation in various ways. The food can be homogenous, such as when blended, or texture can be altered via a garnish. A distinctively chewy texture is great in a muffin, for example. Finally, salt is necessary in most every application—whether sweet or savory. Salt often works with all other ingredients to maximize the combined flavors. A healthy perspective When developing a product for foodservice, it’s vital to consider any and all on-trend nutritional guidelines for trans fats, saturated fats, sodium and calories. These areas are currently under the watchful eye of the consumer. In an increasing number of municipalities and states, use of hydrogenated trans fats is limited or banned. Generally, any new foodservice R&D projects should not use any trans fats. The type of frying oil can also affect the flavor of product—whether via the actual flavor of the oil or in a negative fashion via off flavors that may develop as the oil loses its stability over time. For both frying and sautéing, I like to use low-linolenic (high-stability) soybean oil or high-oleic/low-linolenic (high-stability) canola www.foodproductdesign.com Page 2 [Foodservice] Vol. 20 No. 2 February 2010 oil, or a blend of these oils. These nonhydrogenated oils have a neutral flavor and are quite versatile, with no trans fats. We have to develop products to meet each client’s nutritional parameters and labeling requirements. Having the precise balance of ingredients in the formula is challenging and takes a keen effort. Computer software helps us every step of the way to assure we meet the project’s nutritional requirements. Some foodservice accounts are specific about the types of ingredients used to develop products—particularly these days as foodservice labeling continues to come under scrutiny. Therefore, it’s vital to make sure you know the requirements or any limitations you may have when working with an operator. Keeping the label clean—not using artificial preservatives, additives and/or flavors, etc.—will keep you in the clear for most accounts. Controlling cost Foodservice product development needs to be regimented. However, allowing chefs to be innovative is how great new products come to light. In order to really succeed, a foodservice manufacturer must also understand the proper way to develop a positive and beneficial relationship with vendors or purveyors, maximizing the use of each ingredient and finished product that comes through the door, minimizing the need for on-site ingredient and product storage, and so on. One valuable way to formulate new foodservice products for a particular operator or chain is by utilizing the current pantry list—discovering how ingredients and products commonly used by the operator can come into play in new menu items. We always estimate the food cost initially when creating a product specific to a foodservice account. To remain within budget, sometimes the portion size will need to be adjusted, and at other times we will select less- expensive ingredients. However, our focus is always heavily weighted on the ultimate flavor and integrity of the product. Calculating the food cost also includes taking into account the projected menu price to get a food-cost percentage. This is valuable for the operator to help solidify potential margins. Operational challenges At times, restaurants pose operational limitations. For example, some restaurant concepts don’t have stoves in the back of the house or on the line. In such cases, something like sauces would generally need to be brought in as a manufactured product, and then rethermed via microwave before service.

The present article provides an overview of the metabolism and disposition of flavour substances by identifying general applicable principles of metabolism to illustrate how information on metabolic fate is taken into account in their safety evaluation. The metabolism of the majority of flavour substances involves a series both of enzymatic and non-enzymatic biotransformation that often results in products that are more hydrophilic and more readily excretable than their precursors. Flavours can undergo metabolic reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis that alter a functional group relative to the parent compound. The altered functional group may serve as a reaction site for a sub- sequent metabolic transformation. Metabolic intermediates undergo conjugation with an endogenous agent such as glucuronic acid, sulphate, glutathione, amino acids, or acetate.

    METABOLISM OFF-FLAVOR IN MAPLE SYRUP Part II: Remediation of metabolism off-flavor in maple syrup Abby K. van den Berg1, Timothy D. Perkins1, Mark L. Isselhardt1, Mary An Godshall2 and Steven W. Lloyd3 INTRODUCTION 'Metabolism' is an off-flavor described as 'earthy to bitter' which significantly reduces the economic value of maple syrup (Perkins et al. 2006). It periodically occurs in syrup simultaneously over a wide geographic range, and in some years can affect up to 25% of the total annual maple syrup crop (Perkins and van den Berg in press). Research on metabolism at the University of Vermont Proctor Maple Research Center (PMRC) had two main objectives: 1) to identify the primary compound or compounds responsi- ble for metabolism off-flavor in maple syrup, and 2) to develop a technique maple pro- ducers and packers could use to effectively remediate the flavor of metabolized maple syrup. The primary compound associated with metabolism off-flavor was identified as 2,5- dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMP) (van den Berg et al. 2009a). 2,5-dimethylpyrazine is a nat- urally-occurring volatile flavor compound found in a variety of heat-processed foods, including roasted beef, cocoa, bacon, and coffee (Maga 1992), as well as maple syrup (Alli et al. 1992, Akochi-K. et al. 1997). In maple syrup with metabolism off-flavor, how- ever, 2,5-DMP occurs in much greater concentrations (up to 40 times greater) than in syrup without the off-flavor (van den Berg et al. 2009a). In practice, producers and packers attempt to blend out the off-flavor by mixing metabolized syrup in with good-tasting syrup.

  • 2021 Flavor Trends
    2021 FLAVOR TRENDS 2021 Flavor Trends 2020 reintroduced many to their home kitchens, it was a year of asking for family recipes, baking bread, and experimenting with new avors. As we look ahead to 2021, undoubtedly there is no better time to innovate around avor. We will reinvigorate classic comfort foods, travel through our tastebuds, and focus on foods that promote immunity and health. Comfort Foods At Signature Sauces, comfort foods are our forte. We have multiple foodservice partners that have mastered the BBQ game and their menus proved success throughout the pandemic. Nothing says down home comfort more than a plate of barbequed meat and a bowl of hearty mac and cheese. Not to mention, our company’s humble beginning started with producing pasta sauce recipes that had been handed down through generations. Those recipes are authentic, homemade, and will warm your belly and your heart. As we refocus on the comforts of Grandma’s Sunday Gravy, we nd ourselves redening authenticity. These recipes originated in Italy, so why are we not using Italian tomatoes? After some dedicated R&D time, we realized the Italian tomatoes are rich in avor and lower in sodium. So, in this instance we produced a comfort food that became healthi- er, which is not always easily achieved. Healthy Ingredients As families continue to cook more often at home, the reality of the foods we eat and how it aects our overall health becomes more apparent. We have all been forced to slow down, spend time at home, and eat simply. As we battle this pandemic one common thread remains prominent- if we are unhealthy, we are more apt to contract the virus and ultimately face a harder battle in our healing process.
