04 Mar Biospringer takes on off-notes masking
Biospringer takes on off-notes masking with new yeast-based fermentation ingredient.
In the context of sugar reduction and substitution of animal proteins trends, we help food manufacturers reformulate beverages, dairy products and plant-based alternatives. All of this without affecting their overall taste profile. Biospringer developed Springer® Mask 101, a natural solution produced by fermentation that is also vegan-friendly. This innovative product neutralizes the undesirable tastes brought by sweeteners like bitterness, metallic off-notes, lingering effect, and plant proteins like beany, earthy, and cardboard.
Springer® Mask 101 allows manufacturers to improve nutritional profile without compromising taste.
Above all, consumers expect naturalness and nutritional improvement. Sugar reduction, plant-based foods and beverages are major market drivers. Meanwhile, taste remains a very important factor for consumers before making a purchase. To meet these demands, food manufacturers use sweeteners and plant proteins. These can create aftertastes and affect the final taste of the products. This problem is now solved with Springer® Mask 101. This new product helps them overcome this challenge and develop flavorful and indulgent foods as well as beverages.
« Springer® Mask 101 is a great help for all food technologists to get rid of certain off-notes of sweeteners. Indeed, these can be earthy, beany, metallic or persistent which are difficult to cover with flavors. Erasing them almost entirely helps to build a large and balanced aromatic profile, for the pleasure of the consumer. » Hélène Jolivet, Global Culinary Center Manager at Biospringer.
Springer® Mask 101, an innovation of natural origin and vegan-friendly.
Springer® Mask 101 is a fermentation-based ingredient. Its solubility properties, low dosage and transparency make it a perfect ingredient in sweet beverages, dairy products, plant-based analogues and other plant-based foods. In iced tea, the Springer® Mask 101 neutralizes the off-notes given by stevia or acesulfam K. In a soy-based milk or yogurt, it removes metallic, astringent and beany notes caused by soy or pea proteins.
« Springer® Mask 101 is a real innovation developed thanks to the unique expertise of our R&D team, and there is a patent pending. This natural ingredient has the advantage to mask efficiently undesirable notes without bringing any taste.” Hanane Lamjaj, Global Marketing Director at Biospringer.
