Our know-how in masking off-notes

Taste

is a real purchase issue for consumers

Companies operating in the nutraceutical and agri-food sectors face a major challenge: combining flavour, performance and quality in their products. Consuming a dietary supplement or functional product should be an enjoyable experience while ensuring optimal effectiveness.

Thanks to our flavour expertise in taste masking, we make this combination possible. Our know-how allows us to reduce the undesirable notes of ingredients while preserving their performance and quality, offering products that are both effective and pleasant for the consumer. This technical expertise is essential to meet consumers’ growing demands for nutrition and well-being.

Keep in mind only

Good taste

Tastes and smells: what are tomorrow's challenges?

The off-notes have a negative impact on the taste of the product, altering its palatability and making it difficult for consumers to take or eat regularly.
Palatability comes from the right balance of taste, smell and trigeminal sensations. This balance creates a pleasant mouthfeel that reinforces the hedonistic value of the product.

This is a real challenge for the nutraceutical, food and pharmaceutical industries.

Enhance the organoleptic profile of your products

Experts in olfaction, we know that the perception of a food or ingredient in the mouth uses both taste and smell, two senses involved in the search for well-being and pleasure.

Aware of the importance of this quest for well-being, Phodé has developed expertise in masking unpleasant tastes and odours while taking flavour into account.

Our approach

is tailor-made:

Our only objective: beat the organoleptic challenge of masking off-notes while bringing a new sensory experience for the consumer.

The 3 steps of our approach:

1. Diagnostic

Understand your masking expectations and identify sapid, volatile and/or trigeminal off-notes.
Study all the key parameters that make up the product for a tailor-made masking solution:

Colour, texture, taste, smell.
Target consumer, product promise, use.

2. Formulation

Precise selection of the ideal ingredients to guarantee off-note masking that is safe to use and high quality.
Formulation using the product’s matrix or galenic formulation.
Regulatory checks.
