Specialised solutions

Sauces & Culinary Systems

Sauces, marinades and culinary bases developed around the finished dish and the process they have to survive.

A sauce is judged in the application, after cooking, holding, filling or reheating, not straight from the bench.

What we develop around

Culinary intent, held together by food science.

The finished dish

Flavour, seasoning level and character assessed in the completed application.

Texture and body

Viscosity, cling, separation and mouthfeel considered for how the sauce is used.

Process tolerance

Behaviour through heating, retort, freeze-thaw, holding or reheating where relevant.

Commercial relevance

What works in a kitchen still has to work in production.

Simpler preparation

Culinary bases can consolidate several preparation steps where the process allows.

Consistent output

A defined system reduces reliance on kitchen judgement during production.

Equipment fit

Developed with the customer's cooking, filling and dosing equipment in mind.

Shelf-life context

Stability and pH considerations reviewed alongside the intended distribution route.

How it fits

Culinary systems for integration into your production.

Knoxx Innovations develops sauces, bases and culinary systems for use within the manufacturer's own finished products and production process.

The customer retains the finished-product manufacturing, brand and market relationship.

Customer specific

Developed for one manufacturer, not sold from a catalogue.

Culinary direction is developed with the customer, then translated into a technical brief so the finished system can be made consistently at commercial scale.

The customer specific solution is protected for the customer's agreed application. Knoxx Innovations retains its underlying methods, technology and technical know-how.
