09 Apr 2021 --- Symrise is harnessing AI to discover novel flavor modulating ingredients in a plethora of plant varieties. With this technology, the German supplier has looked into decoding 40,000 ancient Chinese recipes to identify new potential materials with taste balancing capabilities. This project aids the expansion of the flavor house’s newly unveiled symlife portfolio of ingredients, designed to help masking undesirable notes like bitterness or astringency while improving mouthfeel, juiciness and fruitiness, building umami or adding further sensations. By carefully optimizing a product’s overall flavor profile, symlife helps manufacturers close the taste gap of products with reduced sugar, salt and fat content.
