FLAVOUR SOLUTIONS
Distinctive flavour profiles built around the finished product
Flavour performance depends on the complete application. Processing conditions, storage, interactions with other ingredients and the desired consumer experience can all influence how a flavour performs in the finished product.

Selection guide
Choosing the right flavour solution
Flavour selection begins with the intended sensory experience, but successful performance also depends on the formulation, manufacturing process and finished-product format.
Begin with the required sensory character. Consider the intended flavour direction, intensity, authenticity, mouthfeel and how the profile should develop from the initial impact through to the finish.
Manufacturing conditions can significantly affect flavour performance. Heat, pressure, mixing, aeration, freezing, drying and storage should all be considered when selecting the most appropriate flavour format or delivery system.
Fat, protein, sugar, acidity, active ingredients and other formulation components can influence flavour perception and stability. The complete product should therefore be considered during selection and trials.
Consumer preferences vary between applications and regions. Profiles can be developed or refined around regional taste expectations, product positioning and the requirements of the intended market.
Final flavour selection, inclusion level and processing conditions should be validated within the complete formulation and production process.
