Cap'n Crunch - Development

Development

Pamela Low, a flavorist at Arthur D. Little and "the mother of Cap'n Crunch," developed the original Cap'n Crunch flavor from her grandmother's recipe of brown sugar and peanut butter served over rice.

In 1965, the Quaker Oats Company awarded Robert Rountree Reinhart, Sr., the Fredus N. Peters Award for his leadership in directing the development team of Cap'n Crunch. Reinhart developed a technique in the manufacture of Cap'n Crunch, using oil in its recipe as a flavor delivery mechanism — which initially presented problems in having the cereal bake properly. This delivery mechanism requires the cereal to go through a deep freeze after the baking process.

Famous quotes containing the word development:

    The highest form of development is to govern one’s self.
    Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)

    As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
