Flavorchem introduces taste mod™ for protein to mask the off-notes associated with plant-based protein
The pandemic has fueled increased interest in functional food and beverage as consumers turn to products that support their overall wellbeing. Seventy-one percent of respondents in Innova’s Health & Nutrition Survey agreed that it was important or very important to choose food and drink products that positively boost nutrition or benefit how the body functions as consumers adopt a more holistic attitude towards health and nutrition.
However, functional foods that deliver added nutrients typically contribute unwanted attributes such as off-flavors, textures, and aromas in the finished products. Product developers are working to overcome these flavor and aroma challenges by utilizing modulation technologies to achieve optimal taste profile and maintain nutritional benefits.
