In a world with constantly evolving food trends and rapidly increasing demands for personalized products, we need more than our existing set of tools to rise to this challenge. The tools of AI and ML have the potential to significantly reduce the effort, time, money and resources in this endeavour, in addition to achieving hyper personalization of packaged foods and customer satisfaction with no compromises in quality.
In the process of food formulation, AI can assist in optimising the R&D workflow to produce formulations with a highly specific set of characteristics, in a highly resource optimized manner, to produce formulation recipes that not only have the desired characteristics, but also have improved taste, texture and shelf life. In a similar vein, AI driven insights can also drive optimal, even highly personalised packaging. Our AI backed solutions cover all aspects of the new product development cycle, from conception of the idea to its launch in the market.
In less than 60 days, we solved a challenge to ‘increase protein content’ in a dairy beverage product by 30% to over 26 grams of protein in a 200ml dairy beverage. The Client had worked for over 2 years to solve the same problem, before reaching out to Blu Cocoon Digital.
Working with a customer's application R&D team, we were challenged to solve the formulation problem for a plant based, high-protein bar. With over 250 possible ingredients to choose from, the number of manual experiments were overwhelming the team. Using an AI-based formulation approach our solution will cut down the manual experiment count by 60% while reducing the time to market by 40%.
