Abstract
The Chain Information Model (CIM) was set up as a tool for the systematic design of food products with a health benefit; CIM helps to identify the information necessary for an efficient and effective product development process and to facilitate information exchange in food production chains. CIM was used to develop a lycopene-rich tomato ketchup. Results show that CIM is useful for structuring the information towards a scenario to realise the intended product. The model enables product developers to analyse the entire production process in a structured and systematic way. By following this approach, possible influences on the final product are mapped out beforehand.
