Sugar reduction: Mane debuts 3D sweetness modulation technology
29 Jan 2020 --- In line with industry targets to reduce total sugars, French flavor and fragrance manufacturer Mane has developed a 3D sweetness modulation called Sense Capture MS Genuine, which the company says is “inspired by nature.” With sugar reduction a key issue globally and further introductions of sugar taxes pending, the development of chronic illnesses in an aging population is driving companies to offer solutions that can significantly reduce the amount of sugar in F&B products.
Sense Capture MS Genuine is the latest generation of natural flavoring solutions for sweetness modulation. Researchers at the company, who are in charge of the international program on sweetness modulation, have identified the challenges their clients face when they seek to develop low-sugar products that the consumer enjoys. It is the sweet intensity, the release dynamic and also the quality of the sweet taste that matters, the company notes.
The Sense Capture MS Genuine solutions make it possible to support a reduction in the amount of sugar being used but also to reproduce the change in perception of sweetness over time, the characteristic mouthfeel of sugar and to obtain a better quality of sweet taste. Thanks to the 3D sweetness modulation, it is now possible to mask off-notes, such as bitterness, astringency and the metallic taste caused by using intense sweeteners.
These solutions are also original due to the fact that the researchers at Mane have drawn their inspiration from nature and have studied a multitude of plants, the company highlights. They discovered several botanical extracts with unique capabilities and properties in the modulation and perception of taste.
Sense Capture MS Genuine does not contain any ingredients which have dual functionality, therefore it is easy to use with no dosage limitations.
In the fight to reduce sugar, application skills are essential, Mane says. Sense Capture MS Genuine is a range of effective solutions, formulated and tested for targeted applications. In fact, the experience of sweetness is the result of a complex balance between the flavorsome compounds and the flavors.
Flavor specialists at Mane have created Sense Capture MS Genuine flavors specifically for beverages, biscuits, confectionery and sauces. The company has developed cutting-edge sensory methods to measure the multidimensional performance of flavors as precisely as possible and to choose the best candidates.
Sense Capture MS Genuine solutions are available in liquid or powder form, water-soluble or oil-soluble depending on the needs of Mane’s clients.
