Growing awareness of the importance of food for health.
Consumers are becoming more engaged with the positive role of nutrition for health. They are more conscious of how food impacts their health, recognizing that a balanced diet is essential for overall well-being.
As part of their efforts to improve their health, more than 1 in 3 consumers globally say that limiting/reducing non-healthy ingredients (e.g., high in sugar, fat, salt, high alcohol content) is the best way to make indulgent F&B categories healthier.
They are also seeking for “cleaner ingredient”. In fact, 2 in 3 consumers globally are looking for simple convenient ways to ensure their nutrient intake while avoiding additives & preservatives. (Source: Innova Market Insights 2024)
Combining taste & health: a strong requirement from consumers
While consumers are willing to limit salt, sugar and fat, this must not affect the taste and sensory experience of the products they eat. Consumers are showing a heightened interest in adventurous flavors, driven by a desire for novelty and diversity in their food choices. This has sparked curiosity in fusion cuisines and contrasting flavor profiles, opening the door to innovative and dynamic culinary creations. (Source: Innova Market Insights 2024)
Kokumi: the sensation that makes tasting better.
Kokumi doesn’t actually have a taste in itself, this taste sensation does intensify taste by triggering receptors on the tongue and provides a sense of richness, body and complexity to food & beverages. Glutathione (GSH) is the main compound at the origin of Kokumi and occurs naturally in yeast. Kokumi delivers a richer, longer-lasting flavor that fills the entire mouth. It makes foods taste, smell, and feel better, enhancing not only umami but also salty and sweet flavors.
