Our Product Development Center (PDC) is composed of bakery product developers, emulsification application experts, fortification formulators, and a technical trainer. Our bakery product developers have an in-depth knowledge in ingredient functionality and application, and specialize in formulating a large array of bakery products, such as bread & rolls, tortillas, bagels, frozen dough, sweet goods, icings/glazes, and toppings/fillings. Caravan Ingredients' bakers come from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, and together we have BS, MS, and PhD educations, AIB training, retail and wholesale manufacturing experience, and bakery sales and technical service experience. This diversity and wealth of knowledge enable us to formulate products skillfully in the lab and implement them seamlessly at customers’ facilities.

Our Fortification group formulates custom-designed nutrient premixes in food, beverage and pharmaceutical products to promote health and wellness. Our formulators understand the property, functionality and nutritional stability of vitamins, minerals, and herbs, and we have the skills and experiences in making vitamin and mineral blends to meet customers’ needs.

PDC works closely with the sales force and customers in retail, wholesale bakeries, and food companies to deliver customized products and services with quality and agility. We want to be the go-to resource for our customers and the leader in the food industry.
