The Need

In the culinary and pharmaceutical realms, the need for a groundbreaking solution to modulate flavor and alleviate sensory perceptions is crucial. Businesses seek innovative ways to enhance consumer experiences by addressing pungency in foods and alleviating burn or pain sensations in pharmaceuticals. This technology meets the commercial need for novel ingredients that redefine flavor profiles and pharmaceutical formulations, offering a unique edge in product development.

The Technology

Our revolutionary technology identifies three compounds in chili peppers that effectively suppress pungency perception without introducing any additional flavors. These flavorless compounds, categorized as flavor modulators, provide a game-changing approach to altering taste experiences. Unlike traditional methods, these compounds have not been previously reported for their impact on pungency flavor perception, making them a truly novel and unexplored solution.
