Treatt introduces flavour modulators for improved sweetness profiles

Flavour ingredients supplier Treatt has added two new ingredients to its TreattSweet range, to improve sweet flavours in products containing high intensity sweeteners, including stevia.

The new TreattSweet natural, non-caloric ingredients are designed to be ‘water white’, so they are suitable for clear beverages and juices, as well as dressings and dairy. Treattsweet Extra 9856 has been formulated as a low odour alternative to other ingredients in the range, which impart a sweet aroma, while TreattSweet Sparkling 9857 is intended to tackle the challenges of carbonation, acidulants and sugar in low-calorie drinks, which impact flavour perception and sweetness.

TreattSweet Sparkling 9857 is particularly suited to stevia-sweetened drinks with a low pH and reduced sugar, with recommended dosage starting at 100ppm, the company said.
