The Project Story
Our client envisioned a range of high-protein baked lentil chips that would deliver a satisfying crunch while offering a healthier alternative to conventional fried snacks. The objective was to create a portfolio of globally inspired flavors—including Cucumber Dill, Tomato Basil, and Sweet Chili—using clean-label ingredients, plant-based protein, and baked processing technology. At Adhrysa Lifescience, our product development team engineered formulations that balanced nutrition, texture, and authentic flavor delivery while ensuring scalability for commercial production. From ingredient optimization to seasoning adhesion and shelf-life validation, every stage was tailored to develop a premium snack that meets modern consumer expectations for healthy, functional, and flavorful snacking.
The Challenge
Developing baked lentil chips with superior taste and texture required overcoming several formulation and processing challenges. Achieving a light, crispy bite without deep frying demanded precise optimization of lentil flour composition, moisture control, and baking parameters. Uniform seasoning distribution across multiple flavor variants while maintaining low oil content required innovative coating techniques. Additional challenges included preserving crunch throughout shelf life, preventing breakage during packaging and transportation, and ensuring that the formulations remained gluten-free, plant-based, and suitable for large-scale manufacturing without compromising sensory quality.
