Taste Modulation and Healthy products
Taste Modulation solutions are value-added solutions especially beneficial for healthy positioned products, supported by claims like “free-from”, “low-in” or “goods-in” (functional benefits). Such products are more and more sought after by today’s consumers who are better informed, more health conscious and take care of their weights. However, sugar, fat and sodium play a major role in foods and beverages’ taste profile but also in their mouthfeel, texture and look. So, any lack of them from the recipe will eventually cause a flatter taste experience. AVEL’s Taste Modulation solutions rebalance such products’ taste profiles and offer enhanced taste experiences to consumers.
Taste Modulation – Benefits highlights
- Rounded, balanced and improved overall taste perception of products that contain low or no added sugar, reduced calories, fat and sodium.
- Improved mouthfeel, flavor and scent of products free-from MSG, Yeast, Ribo and HVP, while allowing clean-label claims.
- Masking of undesired off-notes associated with Pharmaceuticals and Food Supplements. This is a key benefit for products targeting children.
- Masking of off-notes (lingering, bitterness) associated with artificial and natural sweeteners, like Stevia.
- Masking of possibly undesired notes associated with fibers and grains in baked goods.
- Improved mouthfeel of high protein products, e.g. dairy
