Advanced Food Systems has launched a new website (www.afsnj.com) that makes it easy to locate solutions to food formulation and processing challenges. The intuitively designed site provides quick-searching of over 500 custom-developed food ingredient systems that solve problems involving the balance of texture, flavor, stability, cost and production efficiency of a wide range of food products. Solutions can be searched by product name, application, key feature or benefit. Secure, confidential areas in the new site also enable food developers to communicate directly with AFS’s R&D staff to describe their current challenges and ask technical questions. Solutions may be based on currently available ingredient systems or completely new approaches. A complete archive of the company’s monthly newsletters and a means to sign up for a free subscription are also available. Other features include a description of the company’s capabilities, history, commitment to energy conservation and other special aspects of the company. Advanced Food Systems Inc., 800-787-3067, www.afsnj.com
