Culinary creativity with tomato derived ingredient
18 Jul 2018 | Lycored SARL
Lycored is partnering with US chef Charlie Baggs. The “culinology” pioneer has developed new recipe concepts using Lycored’s taste enhancer SANTE and CTC, its Clear Tomato Concentrate. They both enhance natural umami and kokumi characteristics. Charlie Baggs tells FoodIngredientsFirst: “Lycored has the ability to deconstruct the tomato and use it as a flavor enhancer, allowing the umami characteristics to come through. You are also able to reduce the amount of sodium, sugar and fat when you use a product like SANTE. It is all about balancing salt, acid, sweetness, fats and bitterness, SANTE allows us to pull out some of the sugar and salt to help promote a more nutritious type of product.”
