Hi,How are you,We are looking at a sports gel,Below is what we are after.We are developing a product that must be processed through a UHT Thermal Process with a Hot-Fill into pouch. As such we are trying to find a company/institution that has this capability.The product must be nutritional and packed into a 70g pouch. There are very few companies that have their own pilot UHT equipment so the best way for me to conduct product development is with an institution/company where the trials can be done for me. Not only is this more cost effective but one could test the product on a system comparable to that to be used for commercial production. It has been my experience that not only can we run far more permutations of formulations per day than is possible on a commercial packaging line but that they relate very well to the configurations used by those who have eventually processed and packaged the product. Samples can be obtained with as little as 5 gallons of milk. And it is possible to complete up to 10 or 12 runs per day depending on the number of samples to be collected. Again, before I travel too far along the UHT product development road I wanted to decide on the system that will be used for commercial manufacture and then find a pilot scale unit to match it. Product development is easier when you can run 10 gallon batches rather than 1000 gallon batches. This is especially so when one may need to run dozens of samples to reach their product goal. Is this something you could help me with? Finalising on the right process parameters to achieve a watery jelly consistency is key.Id be interested to know if you would be open to some R&D development and/or sub-contract filling.Please feel free to call me on my mobile or reply via email. Thanking you in advance.
