Request Title: Herb/Grain Processing & Packaging
Submitting Organization: Proctor & Gamble
Response Deadline: December 16, 2019
Conference Call: December 3, 2019
Herb/Grain Processing & Packaging
(Sanitization, Milling, Agglomeration, Blending)
Need Description:
- P&G is interested in both the technology approaches and potentially an Asia centric sourcing for large scale treatment of Herb/Grain based materials in preparation for use in Dietary Supplement, Food and Drug centric products. This encompasses approaches to sanitization to meet at least 3 log reduction in aerobic plate count, milling to two different median particle sizes <600um, <200um, non solvent based agglomeration & drying, finished product blending for content uniformity.
What P&G is looking for:
- Scope of Herb/Grain manipulation (sanitization, milling, agglomeration, blending) from field to product processor
- Maintains natural / organic status
- May not be organic
- Core technologies and capital investment used for each of these stages
- Range of capabilities and capacities (bench, pilot plant, mfg scale)
- Sourcing locations
- Approach to supply chain pest
P&G is NOT interested in:
- Chemical or Ionization sanitization,
- Solvent based agglomeration
