Plant protein masking: Symrise delivers solutions for non-dairy applications
14 Mar 2018 --- Symrise Flavors has developed a masking flavors toolbox specifically targeted to overcome the challenges of aftertaste and off notes of plant protein in non-dairy applications, one of the fastest growing segments in the US market.
“Due to sustainability concerns, health and wellness concerns or simply living a more flexitarian lifestyle, consumers are clearly interested in protein alternatives and that is reflected in the products our customers are developing and launching in the marketplace,” he explains.
Symrise is highly advanced in masking technology, according to Thurston. “We have developed a number of flavor masking systems for plant-based protein products like pea protein and other forms of plant-based proteins for many products in the sweet and beverage categories.”
McBride concluded: “A Symrise technical specialist can work with customers in tailoring masking solutions for drinkable products, as well as non-dairy yogurts, ice creams, protein powder mixes, smoothies and milk.”
