Often developers only consider flavors at the end of the product development process as a way to mask undesirable attributes. But the key is strategically working with flavors at the onset of the development process. In fact, by optimizing taste profiles throughout the entire product development process, innovation timelines can be accelerated.

Authentic Dairy & Dairy-Free Solutions

Dairy flavors such as Milk, Cream and Butter are often ideal for masking because all of these flavors are commonly already found in many foods that need help in achieving a balanced profile, and our solutions extend far beyond those flavors to meet any masking need for any application.

The need for masking can be caused by several factors; the side effect of processing, fortification, heat treatment, plant-proteins in plant-based foods, or reduction of ingredients like sugar. No matter what is driving the need, our expertise is in achieving the balance between masking off-notes while still letting the intrinsic flavor of the food or beverage shine through.
