PRODUCT THESIS

The ingredient
in context.

Textured vegetable protein formats designed for food developers working with hydration, bite, structure and finished-product experience.

This dossier is designed to help procurement, technical and product-development teams move from a broad product description to a structured evaluation of application, specification, processing requirements and supply conditions.

Exact guaranteed analytical values and contractual limits should always be confirmed against the applicable Vippy specification and agreed commercial documentation.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION FRAMEWORK

Three lenses.
One buying decision.

01

Texture architecture

The physical structure of TVP is central to its role in the finished food.

02

Hydration behaviour

Water uptake and preparation conditions should be evaluated in the customer's actual recipe.

03

Sensory system

Texture, flavour absorption and appearance work together in application development.

Start with the
application.

The most useful product evaluation begins with the customer's intended use. Technical parameters acquire meaning only when connected to a formulation, manufacturing process, nutritional objective or functional requirement.

For that reason, Vippy's commercial and technical dialogue should establish the application before finalising the product configuration. This creates a clearer path from requirement to specification.

ApplicationDefine the finished product or process.
ParameterIdentify the values that materially affect performance.
SupplyTranslate the requirement into a practical programme.
CHAPTER 02 / SPECIFICATION

Numbers require
context.

Technical specifications should be read as a system rather than as isolated headline figures. The relevant parameters depend on the product category and intended use.

Buyers should define which analytical, physical, sensory or functional characteristics are critical to their process, then align those requirements with the applicable grade and supply agreement.

Typical values, guaranteed limits, test methods and certificates should be confirmed in the current product-specific documentation supplied for the relevant commercial enquiry.

The questions that
move things forward.

QuestionWhy it matters
What is the intended application?Determines the correct technical evaluation.
Which parameters are critical?Focuses the specification discussion.
What volume and frequency are required?Defines the supply programme.
Where will the product be delivered?Shapes export logistics and documentation.
What approval documents are required?Builds the buyer's evaluation package.
NEXT STEP

Turn the product
question into a technical brief.

Tell Vippy what you are making, where it will be supplied, which parameters matter and what documentation is required. The conversation can then move from a generic product enquiry to a structured supply discussion.
