Tastesense Salt
By leveraging our fermentation, extraction and cooking expertise, Kerry has developed a toolbox of solutions that deliver on salt and umami taste while reducing the amount of sodium in a product. Tastesense Salt solutions improve taste perception while rebalancing the overall eating experience. Solutions can be applied to prepared meals, soups, sauces, snack seasonings, bakery and savoury spreads. Tastesense Salt is flexible across applications including vegetarian, white meat and tomato-based products.
- Reduce salt up to 50% (depending on application)
- Deliver salty and umami taste perception
- Deliver a balanced taste with a clean after-taste
- Deliver a natural, clean taste experience that is not based on Potassium Chloride (KCL)
- Declare “natural flavouring” or “yeast extract” on package labelling
- Optimise frozen, chilled and ambient applications (pasteurised, sterilised)
Tastesense Mouthfeel
When sugar, fat or salt are reduced in foods and beverages, texture and mouthfeel may suffer. Tastesense Mouthfeel solves texture challenges through the application of rheology, tribology and sensory expertise. The solutions in this range were created with different application and tonality challenges in mind. They can be used alone or in conjunction with other TasteSense products.
Use Tastesense Mouthfeel to:
- Bring back mouthfeel that may have been lost in nutritionally optimised products
- Deliver balanced texture and mouthfeel
- Declare “flavouring” or “natural flavouring” on package labelling
Tastesense Masking
The use of functional and nutritional ingredients such as proteins, mineral, vitamins and natural and artificial sweeteners can cause foods and beverages to develop undesired off-notes. Tastesense Masking solutions address challenges common in healthy and nutritious products such as astringency, bitterness, metallic taste, acidity and chalkiness.
- Mask the undesired off-notes that can develop when using ingredients including proteins, minerals, vitamins and sweeteners
- Deliver a balanced taste with a clean after-taste
- Deliver a natural, clean taste experience
- Declare “flavouring” or “natural flavouring” on package labelling
