Flavors & Seasonings & Spices

Kerry, the world’s leading taste and nutrition company, has reviewed extensive research and examined global trends in emerging flavors in an effort to identify the top global taste trend in 2021. The result: barbecue—in all the many variations that can arise when cooking with fire—is electrifying consumer appetites and elevating expectations for new and interesting flavors. This includes in snacks, meats, plant-based meat alternatives, vegetables, sauces, dips, marinades, and seasonings. 

In response to the demand for enhanced functional benefits, Flavorchem, a global flavor and ingredient supplier, developed a line of high-performance modulators to help brands create nutritionally optimized products without sacrificing on taste. 

In response to consumers’ continually changing behavior, Comax Flavors introduces the 2022 Flavor Trends divided into four different flavor collections. Pizza Pizzazz caters to consumers’ love for pizza while Get Grillin’ addresses consumers’ interest in BBQ flavors. Trust Your Gut taps into consumers’ digestive health journey while Sweet Decadence spotlights consumers’ retreat to comforting sweets. Each Comax Flavor collection is comprised of a variety of food and beverage applications.

With colder months rapidly approaching, consumers are gravitating toward hot drink options. This year, however, pumpkin spice lattes and peppermint mochas are shifting to the backburner. Instead, shoppers have a growing interest in emerging global flavors, bolder and spicier options, and functional ingredients that can address personalized wellness needs.
