DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.—A line of flavor masking agents, from Flavorchem Corp., is available to allow flavorful beverages to be fortified with functional ingredients without associated off-flavors. The company’s stable masking flavors allow formulators to use beneficial ingredients at their desired usage rates.
“Beneficial ingredients such as omega-3’s, Stevia, and soy can produce undesirable tastes or odors. As a result, manufacturers may limit usage levels or avoid functional ingredients altogether, missing out on valuable package label opportunities." states Phil Sprovieri, vice president of sales and marketing at Flavorchem. “The solution is to use a flavor that’s specifically developed to mask a particular off-flavor."
