To develop a new product from the given product ingredient.

• explore new ideas for product development,

• understand the concept of development of a process,

• gain knowledge about a technique,

• determine the factors affecting the process of development,

• explain the concept of variations, and

• appreciate the packaging and labeling requirements of the product developed.

Methodology

The process of development of the product in laboratory would involve:

1) Study of the ingredient characteristics

2) Idea generation

3) Feasibility

4) Technique standardization

5) Variations

6) Product standardization

7) Product development

8) Sensory evaluation

9) Product modification

10) Final product

11) Label design and Packaging

Important considerations for the process of development

The process of development would involve exploration of various ideas for example, if the product ingredient provided is  Soya,  one need to study the product characteristics first like it being a rich source of proteins and fat. And also that as it is having low moisture content it can be ground, or made in powdered form.

Thus, the product ideas can be of types:

Soya powder, or paste used in the formation of: Soya flakes
                                                                            Soya papad
                                                                            Soya biscuits
Soya granules can be used for:                                  Namkeen preparation
                                                                           Or any other snack preparation (can be used as filling or in the base product)

Soya milk can be extracted and  products such as shrikhand, sweets, paneer, butter can be prepared.

However, it should be kept in mind that the given ingredient should be the basic or major ingredient in any product formulation.
