The technical part of the food industry has always been a mystery because most food scientists work directly for food companies and are not allowed to share proprietary methods or know-how.As a 25-year veteran food scientist, I have helped many aspiring food entrepreneurs understand the technical steps needed to bring an idea from kitchen to market.The Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs explores these concepts:Sourcing ingredientsFinding co-manufacturersCreating food prototypes using weights and percentages (no tablespoons and teaspoons!)Avoiding food safety disasters like microbial growthThe Food Business Tool Kit for Entrepreneurs guides entrepreneurs through the technical process of formulating a commercial recipe, which is very different from the recipe you are making at home.
