The process begins with procuring the raw materials. In this case, the primary material
for powdered soy condiments are soy sauce, all-purpose flour, and baking soda.
Additional materials might include kraft pouch, teabags and tags for packaging purposes.
All raw materials are then check accurately before preparing and forwarded to production
stage. During production, continuous monitoring and quality checks are made to ensure
that production outputs are of the best quality before distributing to valued customers.
PRODUCTION PROCESS

Powdered Soy Condiment

1. Ingredients and Equipment Preparation:

- Gather the required ingredients, including Datu Puti soy sauce and baking soda.

- Ensure that the equipment, such as the hydrator, is cleaned and sanitized.

2. Measuring Ingredients:

- Measure the precise amounts of Datu Puti soy sauce and baking soda needed for
the recipe.

3. Mixing Ingredients:

- In a controlled environment like the hydrator in the production area, mix the
measured Datu Puti soy sauce and baking soda together thoroughly. The hydrator
can help ensure even distribution and consistent mixing.

4. Hydration and Drying:

- The hydrator's primary function is to add moisture to the mixture and maintain
it at the desired humidity level for a certain period. This step allows the soy sauce
and baking soda to combine effectively while preventing clumping.

- After hydration, carefully monitor the mixture's moisture content to achieve the
desired consistency.

5. Drying Process:

- Once the mixture reaches the desired moisture level, transfer it to a drying
system in the production area.

- Dry the mixture at a controlled temperature to remove excess moisture and

create a powdered form.
6. Quality Control:

- Implement quality control measures during the drying process to ensure the final
product meets the standards. Checking for factors like texture, color, and flavor is
important.

7. Cooling and Grading:

- Allow the dried powdered soy condiment to cool to room temperature. After
cooling, grade the product to separate any clumps or uneven particles.

8. Packaging:

- Package the powdered soy condiment into appropriate containers, ensuring they
are sealed to maintain freshness. The packaging materials are food-safe and
properly labeled with essential information, including ingredients, nutritional facts,
and branding.

9. Quality Assurance and Testing:

- Perform final quality checks to ensure that the powdered soy condiment meets
all safety and quality standards.

10. Storage and Distribution:

- Store the packaged condiment in a dry and cool environment to maintain its
quality.

- Prepare the products for distribution to retailers or customers.

11. Record Keeping:

- Maintain detailed records of the production process, including ingredient

measurements, equipment settings, quality control checks, and packaging details.
12. Continuous Improvement:

- Regularly review and refine the production process to optimize efficiency,

consistency, and product quality.

List of Supplies, Inventory & Equipment

When opening a manufacturing business, timing of purchases and choosing the

right equipment is essential for success. Our business has presented a list of essential
machineries and equipment, to ensure that all things are covered when outfitting the
kitchen. Purchasing the said equipment must start three (3) months before the operation
considering that the delivery time of some items might take long to reach. Regular
monitoring of the items procured should also be done to make everything in perfect
timing that prior to the opening, all the necessary equipment are already in place
