Developing food products

• Break it down into its basic components:– i.e.

• lasagne = pasta – white sauce – ragu sauce - topping• Cheesecake = base – filling – fruit – flavouring – topping• Brownie = chocolate – nuts – fruit – spices – shape• Sponge cake = ingredients – shape – decoration - filling

• Other ways to develop food products:– Change shape/portion (i.e. slice/individual)– Change material/ingredients– Lower fat/sugar/salt content (reduced fat alternatives)– Increase fibre/nutrients– Alter ratio/quantities– Change flavours

What have you learnt from this page:Client Opinions:

What you need to think about: This is the page that allows you to modify 1 specific part of your recipe in a number of ways to improve the product e.g. type of flour1. Remember only change one aspect of your recipe/dish per development.

2. These pages should be developing one aspect of your dish/product: - a. Start with simple adjustments b. Explain what your going to do c. Show where ideas have been modified d. Get other peoples opinions on your developments e. Include a photo and star profile f. Write about how it changes the nutritional or

sensory attributes of the dish

3. Final Idea should be based around one or all of your developments and justify how the developments helped you in designing the product 4. Annotation should show how product has developed from initial ideas.

Development can be shown in many different ways but successful development happens when you choose one item and use that information to help inform your choice of final design !! This could be;Shape, Colour, nutritional profile, ingredients,techniques, processes, Material and so on.

Recording Sensory Results

1. Record these results in rough using lined paper first before you write them on your development sheet. • Hint: allow your testers to use the sensory

vocabulary sheet2. Write your results up in neat when you are

happy you have enough information.

Findings from this page: From this page I have found out that there are many ways I could develop my product. The overriding reasons for developments are to improve aesthetics and the end users perceptions of the product. Other developments could also improve the nutritional profile and cost of the final product. There are social and environmental issues that would also need to be taken into account, such as using fairtrade sugar and chocolate.

Development:

Change the Type of biscuits used to change the nutritional value, the texture or appearance etc. For

example, you could use wholemeal digestive biscuits to increase the fibre and also the texture of the

base.

You could also change the fat to reduce the amount of fat content in

the cheesecake, for example, instead of using butter, you could

use margarine instead. Or, the quality of the butter could be

changed, because a more expensive butter could have a creamier

texture

You could also add dried fruit or crushed almonds to the base to

change the flavour, or the texture and nutritional value.

To develop the filling, you could add different spices to change the flavour, or add food colouring or flavourings

to change the colour and appearance.

To reduce the fat content in the filling, different types of cream

cheese could be used. Instead of full fat cream cheese, light cream

cheese or ricotta could be experimented with to change the

texture and the flavour.

The sugar used could be developed, for example, caster sugar could be used rather

than Demerara sugar to create a lighter base. Fairtrade sugar could be also be used.

Fruit could be used for decoration, this will help with the governments 5 a day policy , so therefore the cheesecake wouldn't just

be an unhealthy option because it contains fruit aswell.

The cheesecake could be decorated with another layer . For example, strawberry sauce. This will change the flavour of

the cheesecake and the appearance.

Add different flavourings, for example, almond extract to create a different

taste. Food colourings could be used as well which would change the

appearance of the cheesecake filling and make it more appealing.

I have chosen to develop cheesecake, because when I made my 6 ideas this turned out the best, this also has many ways of being developed than my other ideas. This also fits my specification.

Cheesecake baseCheesecake

filling The shape or the size of the cheesecake could also be changed, smaller sized

cheesecakes would contain less calories and may attract the consumer more because they are of compact size. However , the shape could also be

changed into different shapes, this will make the product look more attractive.

The double cream used could be changed to single cream etc, to change the texture of the filling.

The fat content could also be reduced.

Cheesecake

Cheesecake Decoration & Toppings

Ecclesfield School: 36574Name:Page:

Findings from this page: From this page I have found that changing the original cheesecake base from digestive to a combination of gingernut and shortbread will improve the sensory characteristics and overall finish of my product. I have also found that shortbread has the highest fat content, so by combining with ginigernut it will improve the nutritional value and make the finished product slightly lower in fat.

Development 1Aim:- To develop the cheesecake bases by using different biscuits in the base. I will also add extra colour and flavour to improve the sensory and aesthetic characteristics.

What I’m going to do:- Make one batch of shortbread and use two types of shop bought biscuits to make 3 different biscuit bases with melted butter.

Original Ingredients:DigestivesButter

Tasting Results:

Evaluation

From developing my base I have found that shortbread is the most popular biscuit to use for my cheesecake base. Comments were made about all 4 bases relating to flavour, but the biscuit with the highest taste score was the homemade shortbread. From developing the bases, I have decided I am going to combine both shortbread and gingernut as this gave the best flavour. This will further improve the sensory characteristics of my product. One of the criticisms of the gingernut on its own was it didn’t hold well enough, so by combining the two I will achieve the best texture and flavour.

Next development: Cheesecake filling
