Sodium and Spice Reduction Mechanisms
Sodium Reduction
The ingredient enables up to 80% sodium reduction in formulations without compromising flavor. Fermented polyphenols and organic acids enhance overall flavor perception, making foods taste more balanced and savory even with less salt.
Spice Optimization
The purée intensifies desirable spice and herb flavors while masking off-notes or bitterness. This allows formulators to use fewer premium spices or extracts without losing complexity.
Improve Texture and Taste
The ingredient delivers functional benefits beyond flavor. It reduces reliance on gums or starches while maintaining viscosity, creating a better mouthfeel.
Shelf-Life Extension
Active polyphenols and organic acids help preserve freshness naturally, extending shelf life without artificial preservatives.
Applications
