OlbrichtArom Expands its Functional Flavors with Masking Functions

OlbrichtArom, a specialist in customized flavors, has added masking functions to its Functional Flavors line. With the DairyEnhancer and SugarBooster, the company offers innovative solutions that help manufacturers develop great-tasting food products with added benefits.

Functional flavors such as DairyEnhancer, Masking Systems, and SugarBooster from OlbrichtArom play a key role in compensating  for flavor distortions caused by functional additives such as  sweeteners, acids, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and fats. They mask undesirable offnotes, improve the overall flavor, and reduce bitterness or metallic aftertaste. In this way, they fulfill the needs of a  wide range of consumers who value enjoyment, health, and  environmental awareness. 

OlbrichtArom’s DairyEnhancer improves the flavor of dairy  products and enables cost savings by reducing expensive recipe  ingredients without compromising on taste or mouthfeel. The flavor  enhances the creamy, fatty taste in dairy products such as milk, cream, yogurt, quark, and similar products. It also masks sour notes, and can be used in low-fat products to give them a flavor and mouthfeel similar to that of products with a higher fat content. In addition, DairyEnhancer helps to mask unpleasant off-flavors, for example in vegetable fats or nutrient-rich applications with proteins, vitamins, or minerals.

Sugar has many positive properties, such as body, texture, mouthfeel, and sweetness, which are lost in reduced-sugar products. OlbrichtArom’s SugarBooster was specially developed for products with a low sugar content and enhances the overall flavor profile without masking the specific taste. This preserves the positive properties of sugar in flavor and mouthfeel.

These flavorings can be used as a powder or in liquid form. They may be declared as “flavoring” or “natural flavoring” and are suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and halal-compliant diets.
