Sensation Flavors – How do they work?

How would a chili pepper taste without the heat sensation? How would Mint taste without the cooling sensation? And how would Cola taste without a buzz-tingling effect? Taste is a complex, multi-dimensional perception and the product of smell, basic tastes and trigeminal senses.

AVEL offers a range of Sensation Flavor Technologies that stimulate nerves that carry signals for pain, touch and temperature. Such technology solutions, in combination with Aromatic Profiles provide more Realistic-Authentic Taste Experiences and/or more Sensory Excitement.

AVEL’s Sensation Flavor Technologies include:

  • Cooling: Invigorates through a clean and refreshing sensation. Relevant for Mint aromatic profiles but also Fruity ones.
  • Warming/Heating: Offers a heat sensation. Relevant for aromatic profiles like chilli, paprika, ginger etc.
  • Tingling: Offers a “buzz” like effect.
  • Mouthwatering: Contributes to improved palatability/ “a moister eat” of dry foods, especially relevant in sugar confectionary, chewing gum and baked goods.
  • Any combination of the above.
