Aversive taste profiles in food and pharmaceutical products limit consumer acceptance and compliance. Eliminating these sensory barriers improves the commercial viability and palatability of functional ingredients.

Plant-based or synthetic consumables often lack the complex organoleptic properties of animal proteins. Addressing off-notes and flavor deficits is necessary to achieve consumer acceptance of meat alternatives.

Plant-based proteins and dietary fibers frequently introduce bitter, metallic, or astringent sensory profiles that limit consumer acceptance. Neutralizing these specific flavor defects allows for higher protein concentrations in beverages without compromising palatability.
