Culinary, chef-driven solutions help Lycored demonstrate its natural ingredient capabilities to enhance flavor and reduce sodium
Lycored used this year’s IFT Food Expo to showcase its tomato-based flavor enhancer, SANTE; and CTC, the company’s Clear Tomato Concentrate. Food formulators and corporate chefs can use both products to make formulations healthier boost “craveability” with natural umami and kokumi characteristics.
To demonstrate its products, Lycored partnered with top US chef, Charlie Baggs, president of Charlie Baggs Culinary Innovations. Baggs, a former Purdue University professor, is a proponent of “culinology,” which combines food science with culinary art. He specializes in helping companies satisfy consumer needs by working creatively with taste characteristics to drive superior flavor.
