Ingredient companies have the unique challenge of how to help their customers recognise and pay for the value-added development that they put into their products. No ingredient company wants to to simply offer a commodity product, since it is very difficult to support profitable organizations based primarily on selling commodities. In order to have the market pay for the services of world-class ingredient companies they must deploy full-scale applications and formulation laboratories to support customer's applications of their ingredients. In order to stay ahead of the textural impact of their ingredients on costumer food products most international class food ingredient companies use the TA.XT2i or the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyser in their day-to-day research and applications development.
Since the instruments are used in the ingredient companies, then generally the corporate research & development facilities also use our instrument to measure the textural impact of their formulations. Many of R&D departments and QC departments even use our texture analysers to conduct incoming quality control on the ingredients. Being able to precisely synchronise test methods is critical for achieving efficiencies and productivity at R&D and ingredient companies where people are far too busy to develop new texture test methods. Texture Technologies and Stable Micro Systems steps up and offers our clients test method development assistance to get them profitable and productive from the moment they purchase our system.
