Fat, Sugar, and Salt Reduction
Reducing the fat, sugar, and/or salt of your dairy, dairy-free, and plant-based applications requires specialized flavor expertise and resources. At Edlong, we use over a century of experience exclusively focused on the taste of dairy and a cultivated library of hundreds of dairy flavors that can be applied in thousands of combinations to offer the perfect solutions for your unique application development challenges, including offering the fat, sugar, and salt reduction your consumers want while delivering the authentic taste they demand.
Dairy Can Be Your Reduced Fat, Sugar, and Salt Application Solution
Edlong’s global team of dairy flavor experts is uniquely skilled at leveraging and customizing our best-in-class library of hundreds of dairy, dairy-free, and vegan flavors to develop healthy reduction solutions for your reduced fat, sugar, and salt applications. Our flavors do more than ensure your consumers won’t sacrifice on taste and texture; they can actually boost mouthfeel and flavor perception. That gives you a competitive advantage on what primarily drives your consumers’ product purchase decision.
Consumer demand for healthier products has never been more intense. From paleo, keto, and flexitarian to vegan and vegetarian, consumers are making specific lifestyle choices. While taste considerations continue to be their strongest purchasing influence, consumers are also paying close attention to the labels of the food and beverages they buy.Julie Drainville Edlong Sensory Manager
Authentic Dairy & Dairy-Free Solutions
From baked goods, cookies, and cereal bars to savory snacks, cheeses, beverages and more, the Edlong team has a mastered the process of developing the complex flavor profiles required to deliver authentic-tasting products that meet your healthy reduction goals across a wide range of applications.
Our healthy reduction expertise takes all flavor considerations into account. We know if your product has reduced fat, sugar, or salt, there may be other inherent challenges to address. Our mouthfeel solutions add richness to products that have reduced-fat or sugar and help increase longevity of taste in the mouth in a way that’s similar to fat. Our savory solutions can help increase salty perception in reduced-sodium applications, and our sweet solutions can help improve sweetness perception in a variety of applications while improving mouthfeel in sugar-reduced products. This Vegan Cardamom Cold Brew Latte is just one example of how we reduce fat, sugar, or salt while improving mouthfeel, enhancing sweetness, imparting creaminess, and masking bitter off-notes.
The expertise of our food and beverage sensory scientists, chefs, and applications experts is at the ready to work with you and deliver the fat, sugar, and salt healthy reduction flavor solution that suits your specific needs.
Let’s start innovating together.
