IT'S PERFECT
inhibitor will be adequately dispersed
in the finished product, something required to achieve the desired results,"
he says.
The key is to help processors optimize their finished product performance
by evaluating their current performance
versus their goals in the context of
their specific manufacturing processes,
Hull adds. "Specifically measure current product performance (baseline) in
terms of ingredient, substrate, process
and packaging interactions, then determine where to focus on product improvement," he continues.

Building relationships
WTI is most effective when it is an
integral part of the development team,
according to Hull. "In our case, we
work with our customers in our research facility to produce samples to
demonstrate the characteristics that
they are targeting in their finished products and then use these samples as their
gold standard for future scale-up productions," he says.
Wilke also works with R&D teams
and at its customers' plants. Reising
says every product is unique, thus you
cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach.
"There is going to be variation," he
says. "You can take a similar formulation and you can have different results
using similar levels of dosage of everything else, just because of the operating
environment and the processing parameters. You can have a pretty good idea
of where you are going but there is always going to be variation."
Purac creates relationships based on
cooperation with each processor, says
Peterson. "In certain cases we work directly with the processor to formulate,
and with others, we provide technical
recommendations," she says. "The Purac
Listeria Control model has been a useful
tool that helps processors identify levels
of Purasal Opti-Form to use."
