Every time we modify the recipe of our food and beverage products, for instance taking out sugar, or fat, or salt, or adding minerals and other nutrients, the overall taste experience is impacted, and we know consumers are not willing to trade taste for health. Moreover, other rapidly growing product categories such as plant-based foods are looking at ways to winning larger shares of consumers, by providing taste, texture, and colour experiences similar to the animal-based counterpart.
At Nactarome, we have been working on taste modulation systems for years and developed a complete toolbox of flavour modifiers compliant to EC 1334/2008, and top note flavourings, to increase, decrease, or change the perception of specific sensorial characteristics, e.g., reducing metallic off-notes or bitterness, intensify fruitiness, enhance roundness or richness in low-sugar products. Besides our taste toolbox, our food technologists and application specialists will work closely with you to optimize the recipe with the new ingredients balance and identify the perfect taste solution combination to suit your product and your markets.
