The Need: Flavor Modulating Compounds for Healthier Food and Drink

Consumers today are increasingly conscious of their health and seek food and beverage options that align with their wellness goals. However, many nutritious foods and beverages often contain bitter or sour flavors that can deter consumers from their consumption. Consequently, food manufacturers resort to high levels of fats, sugars, and salts to mask these undesirable tastes, compromising the health benefits of these products. There is a pressing commercial need for a solution that effectively blocks or modulates bitter and sour flavors, allowing for the reduction of added sugars and salts while maintaining palatability and consumer appeal.
