Formulating with flavors is a delicate process, as the nuances and balances between the components must be just right for a taste experience to appeal to consumers.
One of the most rigorous cooking processes, frying damages typical flavoring agents. However, a line of encapsulated flavor products able to withstand high frying temperatures is a new tool to help formulators reach their fried foods flavoring goals. Manufactured by WILD Flavors, Cincinnati, the line was developed in response to foodservice operator needs. “There is a trend to go after what tastes good—the comfort foods trend—so this line of flavors caters to that area,” states John Bauman, vice president of the culinary business unit.
