Snacks That Stay Crisp From Plant to Pop.
Image is for illustrative purpose only - actual product may vary.
The Problem Statement
Caramel popcorn that clumped into bricks and went soft in humidity; vacuum-fried fruit and vegetable chips that lost their colour and crunch weeks before their date — two textures, one enemy: moisture.
Founders’ Involvement, Experience and Hack
Controlled the caramel’s glass transition with a re-designed coating and cooling-tumbling profile, dialled vacuum-frying parameters to keep natural colour, and specified high-barrier packs so crispness survives the whole chain — no desiccants needed.
Commercial Scale & Impact
A crisp-guaranteed snacking range shipped at scale to Dukes’ B2B clients across markets.
