Why smoke requires special expertise
- Specific Regulations & Documentation Requirements: Smoke flavours are subject to specific regulatory requirements, and manufacturers need products that meet both legal and labelling requirements. STOCKMEIER Food has developed stable smoke flavour alternatives designed to meet both sensory and regulatory requirements. Please get in touch to discuss how your products may be impacted by these changes.
Integration of Smoke Flavour - High Technological Demands: Smoke flavours must withstand heat, smoking processes, extrusion, pH fluctuations and extended shelf life without oxidation or flavour loss.
- Application-Specific Profiles: Different applications require different smoke profiles, from mild and sweet to strong, spicy or intense. Plant-based products may require different smoke characteristics from meat or deli applications.
- Compatibility with Modern Alternatives: Smoke profiles for vegan and vegetarian products need to:
- Balance natural roasted notes,
- Create familiar savoury and meat-like associations
- Deliver aromatic depth without unwanted off-notes
