Innovation Kitchen by APC Europe
Pilot-scale co-creation to develop, test, and refine wet pet recipes and treats. Run formulation trials, validate processes, and leave with samples, texture/process data, and clear next steps.
What you can do here
-
Formulate & iterate: new products or reformulations.
-
Pilot runs: loaf/pâté, chunks in gravy or jelly, gravy, mousse, lickables, treats.
-
Measure what matters: texture profile analysis (TPA), yield, water binding, slicing/cohesion, handling and filling behavior.
-
Decide faster: actionable reports with recommendations and scale-up guidance.
