ModuMax® is an innovative, natural taste modulator which helps create preferred taste profiles in beverages & food products that contain high intensity sweetener or are lower in fat. It also improves taste in products with added nutrition food with higher protein content that has undesirable flavor notes.
DSM’s flavor and taste experts have developed ModuMax® to create better tasting sweet and savory food and beverage products. ModuMax® allows food and beverage manufacturers to grow their business by creating more natural food plus and food minus applications that suit healthy lifestyles, by delivering mouthfeel, masking undesirable notes, and improving overall taste impact in food and beverage applications where taste is a challenge.
ModuMax® is an easy-to-use solution that can be labeled as a natural flavor*, allowing food & beverage producers to offer products with a friendly label, in line with consumer demand. For example, in the US, Modumax® is Non-GMO Project Verified.
When taste is a challenge
DSM’s team of creative scientists and culinary experts has created ModuMax® to help customers develop new products as well as reformulate their existing portfolio to eliminate negatives, add positives, and clean up labels. ModuMax® is ideal for formulas that require taste balancing; for example, in food-minus and food-plus savory and sweet products covering segments such as sports protein drinks and meal replacement shakes, alternative plant-based milks, yogurts and desserts.
