Concept Ideation

We start with your idea, including existing samples and formulations. We analyze for function, flavor and scalability.  Protocept SKU concepts and a development plan are delivered.

Formulation

We evolve protocept to prototype through trials of processing steps, processing conditions and HAACP. We conduct shelf life and compliance evaluations to deliver an efficient formulation.

Reformulation

Critical rounds of client feedback, product experience testing and refinement are conducted for a fully honed final formulation. The IP is delivered, empowering you for your trials of scale.

Benchtop R&D

Research occurs while working to deliver dual formula adjustment and correction. We also pilot novel formulations, rigorously testing each input, to deliver sample SKUs for client analysis.

Sourcing

We identify specialty suppliers to meet your product and brand specs, including upcycled, organic, fair trade and more. We connect you with partners appropriate for your unique process and scale.
