Sweet Linger Eraser
Undesirable taste puzzled sugar reduction in food & beverages
Time intensity is an important consideration when rebuilding the taste of sugar in sugar-reduced food and beverages. Sugar exhibits a quick onset of sweetness and a clean finish. High-intensity sweeteners are often associated with lingering sweetness that destroy the pleasant taste profile.
Imperfect sweetness profile
The imperfect sweetness profile problem occurs when sugar is replaced by high-intensity sweeteners.
Aftertaste / Off-taste
Bitterness
Astringency
Chemical-like
Metallic taste
...
When selecting a low/ no-calorie sugar substitute, no aftertaste is the primary factor. The addition of high-intensity sweeteners can trigger metallic and bitter aftertaste that disharmonizes the overall flavor profile. Aftertaste/off-taste is easy to notice in sugar-reduced food and beverages. If it can’t be avoided, it needs to be masked.
