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.

Why APC’s Innovation Kitchen

  • Realistic pilot conditions to de-risk industrial runs.
  • Spray dried plasma expertise: high-quality protein with water-binding, emulsification and gelation for texture consistency and palatability.
  • Flexibility: work with your ingredients and ours.
  • Confidentiality: NDA available; your formulas and data remain yours.

What you can do here

  • Optimize & validate: recipes and ingredient choices

  • Pilot runs: loaf/pâté, chunks in gravy or jelly, gravy, mousse, lickables, backed 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.
