The Food Technology Specialist at TrueSubstance is the scientist behind the “Slomilled” promise. This isn’t a corporate R&D role; it’s a hands-on position that combines food chemistry with traditional milling to prove—with data—that our flour is superior.
You aren’t just checking boxes; you are defining the technical standards for what “nutritional integrity” looks like in the 21st century.
The Mission
At TrueSubstance, we believe that “freshly milled” is only the beginning. As our Food Technology Specialist, your mission is to scientifically validate our cold-pressing process. You will bridge the gap between artisanal craft and nutritional science, ensuring that every bag of flour maximizes nutrient bioavailability, shelf-life (without additives), and baking performance.
Key Responsibilities
1. Process & Nutritional Validation
- Cold-Press Optimization: Study the thermal impact of our milling process on various grains. Calibrate equipment to ensure grain temperatures never exceed the “nutrient-loss” threshold.
- Nutritional Analysis: Lead the testing for vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats across our range. Create the “Nutritional Fact Sheets” that form the backbone of our brand transparency.
- Shelf-Life Management: Develop natural, physical protocols (like moisture control and specialized packaging) to extend the shelf-life of fresh flour without the use of chemical preservatives.
2. Product Innovation & Formulation
- Functional Blends: Work with the Range Specialist to develop “Smart Flours” (e.g., Diabetic-friendly, high-protein, or gut-health optimized) using scientific ratios of ancient grains.
- Baking & Culinary Trials: Conduct “Kitchen Lab” tests. How does our Khapli wheat perform in a sourdough? How does our Bajra hold up in a traditional roti? You define the “ideal grind” for the best culinary result.
3. Quality & Food Safety (The Guardian)
- FSSAI & Compliance: Ensure our stores and milling units exceed all food safety regulations.
- Standardization: Create the Technical SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for the Millers to ensure that the flour milled in Store A is identical in quality to Store B.
- Contamination Control: Implement rigorous testing for pesticides, heavy metals, and mycotoxins in our raw grain supply.
Who You Are
- The “Agile Scientist”: You love the lab, but you’re even better at applying science to a real-world retail environment.
- Grain Expert: You understand the starch damage, protein quality, and enzymatic activity of Indian wheat and millets.
- Data-Obsessed: You don’t say a flour is “good”; you show the lab report that proves its micronutrient density.
- Clean-Label Advocate: You are fundamentally opposed to bleaching agents, conditioners, and preservatives. You believe nature got the recipe right the first time.
Why TrueSubstance?
- The “Substance” Lab: You have the freedom to experiment with ancient grains that industrial food companies ignore.
- Direct Impact: Your research doesn’t end up in a drawer; it goes directly onto the labels that feed thousands of families.
- Pioneer Status: Join a brand that is redefining the “staples” category in India through the lens of modern food technology.
