Food product innovation is moving fast, and we’re here to help you keep pace. With their rich flavour, creamy texture and nutritional appeal, macadamias offer endless potential as an ingredient.
What are the Application Solutions Guides?
Created in partnership with the Food Innovation team at the Queensland Department of Primary Industries, the Application Solutions Guides offer ready-to-use macadamia product formulations designed to help brands, manufacturers and product developers bring new ideas to market faster, and with greater confidence.
The Application Solutions Guides are a suite of 13 commercially viable macadamia product concepts across five key categories:
Each guide contains a fully tested base formulation that has been developed with commercial manufacturing in mind, along with processing flowcharts, manufacturing considerations, and macadamia format, dosage and treatment recommendations. You’ll also find flavour variations and concept ideas to help inspire busy product teams and support further innovation.
Whether you’re working on bakery lines, ready-to-eat snacks, gourmet condiments or chocolate confectionery, these guides are designed to serve as both a practical formulation resource and a springboard for creative product development.
Created to support the way you work
We understand the pressure that brands and product developers face: to align with trends, move quickly, stand out in a crowded market and deliver on taste, texture, shelf life and nutritional credentials – all while managing risk and minimising time to market.
Macadamias are a powerful ingredient to help tick those boxes, but for teams unfamiliar with how they behave in commercial production, formulation can feel too hard. The Application Solutions Guides help remove that uncertainty. Developed by food technologists who understand the realities of new product development, these guides deliver the insight and detail needed to get the most out of macadamias, including which formats to use, how they perform during processing, and what inclusion rates deliver the best sensory outcomes.
The formulations themselves have been developed, tested and refined to reduce trial and error, allowing you to focus on tailoring to your consumer and brand needs. The base recipes can be used in their current form or adapted to suit your own product range. Either way, you’ll benefit from the support that comes from working with formulations that have already been validated.
