Taste modulation and sweetness enhancement: IFFLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Non-nutritive sweeteners exhibit persistent bitter aftertastes and poor mouthfeel, requiring specific molecular modifiers to achieve sugar-like sensory profiles in reduced-calorie consumables.

What technical problems is IFF addressing in Taste modulation and sweetness enhancement?

Sugar substitute sweetness deficiency

(12)evidences

Artificial sweeteners lack the full-bodied intensity of sucrose, requiring specific glycoside compounds to reach target sweetness levels.

Sweetener residual aftertaste persistence

(16)evidences

Non-sugar sweeteners like steviol glycosides produce lingering bitter or sour off-notes that require selective masking agents to improve consumer acceptance.
