Market situation
Challenges for manufacturers
- Distinctive cooked-food flavours: Consumers expect depth and complexity, including umami, roasted, herbal, meat and fish notes
- Process and shelf-life stability: Flavours must withstand heat and pH fluctuations and remain stable throughout shelf life
- Globally inspired flavour profiles: Korean BBQ, Tex-Mex and Thai flavours are driving demand for characteristic, reproducible taste experiences
- Natural flavour solutions: Manufacturers are looking for natural flavours, declaration-friendly solutions and ways to reduce additives
- Matrix challenges: Fat phases, emulsions, protein structures and plant-based formulations can all affect flavour performance, so each application requires a tailored flavour solution
- Functional requirements: Masking, balancing and enhancing flavours are particularly important in high-protein and plant-based formulations
