Title:

Youth-Green: Process scale-up and refinement of gluten-free dumplings

Agreement Number:

916108

Agreement Value:

$10,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 7, 2018 - Mar 31, 2019

Description:

Honest Dumplings Ltd. has recently developed gluten free dumplings using various ingredients such as pulses and alternative flours. Firm has conducted market testing at a very limited scale (50 packages) and general feedback was very positive. Firm is now scaling up and refining the dumpling wrappers to reduce loss and increase productivity using automated dumpling machine. Preliminary tests on the machine have demonstrated that the wrappers can function, however, further refinement of the process is required since these wrappers do not work as well as wheat-based wrappers. Firm is looking for an intern to support the scale-up, which will require regular large batch runs with modified process and formulation tweaks to ensure a viable manufacturing process.
