WELL ESTABLISHED gluten free food specialist has its sights set on healthy growth after extending its research and development capability via a partnership with QMU ’ s food team .
Edinburgh based Genius Foods has entered into a partnership with QMU ’ s Scottish Centre for Food Development and Innovation , where its team is now operating from a specialist new food science laboratory .
With a strong research background in supporting the development of Scotland ’ s food and drink businesses , Genius Foods identified QMU as the academic partner with the most suitable facilities for developing its own recipes and product range .
The University ’ s food scientists have provided expert training to the Genius Foods team on ways to measure the texture , colour and flow properties of its products using specialist equipment .
Genius Foods will also have access to the Centre ’ s fully-equipped sensory suite facility , which allows experts to measure people ’ s perceptions of food and drink products ’ attributes , including appearance , aroma , texture , flavour and aftertaste .
QMU ’ s team of food innovation experts regularly provide its clients with consumer focus groups , taste panels , nutritional analysis and shelf-life testing .
Dr Julien Lonchamp , from QMU ’ s Scottish Centre for Food Development and Innovation , said : “ We ’ re very pleased to be providing specialist research and development facilities and training for Genius Foods . The specific combination of sensory and analytical facilities that we offer at QMU was previously unavailable elsewhere in Scotland , so research work was often sent to England or Northern Ireland instead .
“ Through practical innovation support and creative business solutions , QMU is continuing to help leading food and drink businesses , like Genius Foods , with new and innovative product development .”
Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne , Founder of Genius , added : “ The partnership with QMU demonstrates our ongoing commitment to producing marketleading gluten free bakery products . Whilst an element of our R & D will remain in-house , we are working in partnership with the Scottish Centre for Food Development and Innovation , which will enable us to have an even deeper understanding of the behaviour of our core ingredients . We look forward to working with QMU to take our recipes and product range to the next level .” ❒
The Scottish Centre for Food Development & Innovation is enhancing Scotland ’ s position as a leader in food and drink innovation in Europe and supporting access to the global market for healthy and functional food .
