Dairy and Dairy-Free Masking Solutions
Masking off-notes and creating balanced flavor profiles in your dairy, dairy-free, and plant-based applications requires specialized flavor expertise and resources. At Edlong, we bring the expertise of a global team of R&D experts and over a century of flavor expertise and dairy knowledge to our masking solutions so we can offer the best solution for your masking challenges.
Edlong Masking Solutions: Everything Masking Can Be
Whether you’re looking to mask off-notes in plant-based or protein-fortified applications or improve the overall taste profile of your product, Edlong’s global team of dairy-flavor experts is uniquely skilled at leveraging and customizing our best-in-class library of dairy and dairy-free flavors to develop masking solutions for your specific application needs.
Food processing, fortification, heat treatment, the use of plant proteins, and reduction of ingredients like sugar or fat can result in off-notes and the need for masking flavors. No matter what drives your need, we offer expertise in achieving a balance between masking off-notes and letting the intrinsic flavor of your food or beverage shine through.
Our flavors are available in a variety of forms, even ones that are heat stable and can overcome the most intense processing conditions. Other formats include liquid/oil-soluble, paste, spray dry, powder, emulsions, and more. We also certify flavors to meet your label restrictions such as Organic, Kosher Dairy, Kosher Pareve, Halal, Non-GMO, and Whole Foods Compliant.
Often developers only consider flavors at the end of the product development process as a way to mask undesirable attributes. But the key is strategically working with flavors at the onset of the development process. In fact, by optimizing taste profiles throughout the entire product development process, innovation timelines can be accelerated.Laura Enriquez Edlong Master Scientist, Strategic Applications
