Our ACTI’SENS Process
Metarom USA is a leading food flavor manufacturer and thoughtfully considers each masking agent, bitter blocker, sweetness enhancer, or fat replacer to help our clients rebalance formulas appropriate for the best-tasting food flavor profiles. While the specific purpose of flavor inclusion can vary from masking or blocking unwanted tastes to replacing fat and enhancing sweetness, the ultimate goal behind our ACTI’SENS flavor applications engineering is to preserve the best tastes in your finished product.
So, what is flavor manufacturing using our proprietary ACTI’SENS process? These nutrition flavor applications involve a 5-stage development cycle where aroma chemicals, oils and compounds are isolated, tested for stability, combined with carrier agents, tested in application conditions, and refined for optimal performance. Using this method, our food flavor company will preserve the best flavor in your confectionery products or other finished goods.
