Introducing FlavorSweet: The Secret to Perfectly Balanced Taste in Every Product

In today’s competitive food, beverage, and supplement industries, flavor is everything. Consumers expect products that not only deliver on functionality but also taste great. However, incorporating essential ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, herbal extracts, and high-intensity sweeteners often comes with a major challenge—off-notes.

Bitterness, astringency, metallic flavors, and undesirable mouthfeel can diminish the appeal of even the most well-designed products. To meet this challenge, FCI Flavors has created FlavorSweet. FlavorSweet is an innovative masking technology and flavor enhancer that neutralizes unpleasant flavors while amplifying the good ones, ensuring that every sip, bite, or scoop of your product is an enjoyable experience.

Why Taste Matters More Than Ever

Consumers today are more discerning than ever before. They demand clean-label products that deliver both functionality and exceptional taste.

• The sports nutrition industry is rapidly evolving, with athletes and fitness enthusiasts expecting great flavors alongside performance benefits (Source: Mintel).

With FlavorSweet, you can meet these expectations and ensure that your product is both effective and delicious.

Key Benefits of FlavorSweet

1.) Effectively Masks Bitterness & Unpleasant Off-Notes

Functional ingredients like BCAAs, botanicals, herbal extracts, and plant-based proteins often come with harsh bitterness and aftertastes. FlavorSweet eliminates these negative sensory attributes, making it easier to formulate great-tasting products without excessive sweeteners or artificial flavors.

2.) Enhances Flavor & Sweetness Without Adding Sugar

Many brands struggle to create low-sugar or sugar-free products that still taste amazing. FlavorSweet enhances sweetness perception, allowing you to reduce sugar while maintaining a deliciously balanced profile.

3.) Optimized for Clean-Label & Health-Conscious Formulations

Consumers are actively looking for natural, organic, and non-GMO products. FlavorSweet seamlessly integrates into clean-label formulations, ensuring your product meets modern dietary demands without compromising taste.

4.) Improves Mouthfeel & Overall Sensory Experience

Beyond flavor, mouthfeel plays a critical role in consumer satisfaction. Whether it’s a protein shake that needs to feel creamier, a beverage that needs a smoother finish, or a bar that requires a better texture, FlavorSweet works to enhance overall mouthfeel and palatability.

5.) Versatile for a Wide Range of Applications

FlavorSweet isn’t just for one type of product—it’s an adaptable solution that works across multiple industries.

✔ Beverages: Energy drinks, hydration mixes, RTDs, probiotic drinks
✔ Supplements: Tablets, powdered formulas, vitamin & mineral blends
✔ Sports Nutrition: Amino acids, creatine, collagen blends, protein shakes, pre-workouts
