IFF SOLUTIONS

Global demand for healthier and convenient food options has seen an exponential rise in recent times, fueled by consumers’ quest for healthy weight management and new and indulgent flavorful products. Companies that lead the innovation in taste experience combined with healthy and functional ingredients will win in the marketplace. At IFF we are leading this next generation of Bars and Confectionery with advanced capabilities for unparalleled Product Design, to meet our customers’ needs and consumer desires.

FIBER

LITESSE® fiber solutions offer great functionality for healthy weight management in many formats, including powders, bars, and gummies. LITESSE® ULTRA can boost metabolic health, offering a valuable assist to help manage weight, promote satiety, and control overall appetite and caloric intake. Additionally, in combination with the probiotic HOWARU® B420 it can further help to control fat mass and increase lean body mass.

FLAVORS

IFF FLAVORFIT modulation technology for healthier bars, especially with high protein, is essential as it can increase the product liking by customizing for consumer preference. IFF FLAVORFIT can support producers by:

  • Improving sweet perception in low sugar bars
  • Improving salt perception (essential when reducing sodium in such products)
  • Improving mouthfeel
  • Masking undesirable off-notes like bitterness, astringency of the plant-based proteins and lingering after-taste of sweeteners
  • Improving overall flavor balance and taste delivery

High impact top notes and consumer-preferred tonalities to make every bite and every sip a genuine sensorial delight. Furthermore, IFF FLAVORFIT Sensates can bring juiciness and freshness to healthier protein bars, reducing the dryness inherently present in them and making every bite sensorially delightful!

INCLUSIONS

TAURA inclusions are all natural creative specialty ingredients that provide great taste, texture and visual appearance to healthy snack bars. Clean label and free from artificial flavors and preservatives, TAURA also can add fiber and other functional possibilities. Fruit inclusions contain 100% real fruit pieces, flakes and pastes and vegetable derived ingredients are also available. TAURA can support food manufacturers in crafting healthy and nutritious weight management bars which are multi-sensorially rewarding.
