Two new flavouring substances have just been authorised in the EU:
👉 Hesperetin dihydrochalcone
👉 3-[3-(2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexyl)-ureido]-butyric acid ethyl ester
These compounds act as taste modulators:
- sweetness enhancement
- bitterness masking
- salt reduction
- mouthfeel improvement
đź’ˇ Powerful tools for reformulation (low sugar, plant-based, etc.)
But there’s a catch. They come with strict maximum use levels, depending on the food category. Which means:
âť— flavourists must dose them precisely
âť— manufacturers must ensure finished products remain compliant
And when you multiply ingredients like these across formulations… complexity rises fast.
This is exactly where Flavour Manager helps:
âś… track regulatory limits
✅️ check compliance at product level
✅️ secure formulations from lab to market
Because today, it’s not just about creating great taste, it’s also about making sure it’s market-ready.
How are you planning to use these new ingredients?
