Description:
This project focuses on reformulating our dairy-free cashew butter recipe to prevent oil separation and improve product stability. The goal is to optimize the balance of fat, moisture, and emulsifying components to maintain a uniform texture during fermentation, processing, storage, and use. By adjusting ingredient ratios and processing conditions, the reformulated butter aims to achieve better emulsion stability, consistent spreadability, and enhanced shelf-life without compromising flavour or quality. The outcome will support a more reliable product with improved structural integrity and consumer appeal.
