The co-creation journey

Givaudan constantly aspires to be our customers’ essential partner in the plant-based protein space. One way we make this a reality is through co-creation.

To help this, we surprise with our creativity inspired by discovery, innovation and insightful consumer understanding. 

The co-creation journey
Prepare

1 • Prepare

Everything we do always begins with the consumer. We carry out focused research to understand exactly what consumers are looking for, as well as identifying innovation opportunities and ideal brand positioning.

Define

2 • Define

Before we begin to create, we identify a  gold standard, then we take the time to pinpoint the right ingredients, ingredient suppliers and process technology for the application, taking into account the latest developments in the rapidly evolving plant-based space. 

Design

3 • Design

This step is all about colours, maskers, mouthfeel, taste tools, cooking cues and flavour profiles. Depending on the product, our experts will help you to find the best possible combination of these to meet your goals.

Develop

4 • Develop

During the development phase, we focus on format customisation, structure and textural formation, and format stabilisation, combining your creativity with our expertise and technologies.

Create

5 • Create

Whether you are creating from scratch or reformulating an existing recipe, our fast prototyping capabilities enable us to translate plant-based culinary concepts into prototypes in real time.

Test

6 • Test

Testing is an essential part of the creation process. To make sure that your plant-based product hits the mark with consumers, we carry out both sensory panels and technical testing.
