SaltSavor™ Salt Reduction Technology

Healthy and easy to use, SaltSavor is a clean label flavor enhancerthat reduces sodium without sacrificing taste. This proprietary saltreduction technology stimulates taste receptions on the tongue toincrease salt perception. It’s Kosher available and works in virtuallyany application including soup, sauce, gravy, meat and more.

Acid Blocker

Bitterness can come from a variety of places including storage andprocessing, naturally occurring compounds and ingredients such asartificial sweeteners, botanicals, preservatives, caffeine and more.That‘s why INNOVA developed Acid Blocker. Acid Blocker isproprietary technology that masks the acid bite or bitter taste inlow pH foods by simply new word for blocking acidic or bitterflavors from taste bud receptors in the mouth. It gives you moreflexibility to tailor flavor delivery and profile to your customers, andone more smart innovation INNOVA has tailored just for you.

Soy Masker

It’s highly nutritious and flexible, but soy has a signature flavor thatlimits its use. While certain flavors work well with soy, others tendto magnify the beany off-flavor that’s hard to ignore. INNOVA’sdepth of experience in flavor technology gives us unique insightinto the interactions at play. Each situation and masking approachis unique, but creativity and experience allow us to developcustom masking approaches to overcome your unique soychallenges.

MSG Replacer

Monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of the naturallyoccurring amino acid glutamic acid. It is used as a food additiveand is commonly marketed as a flavor enhancer.

In situations where the presence of MSG is not desired but the“umami” effect it brings is, INNOVA offers alternative solutionswhich provide comparable enhancement, mouth feel and umamimeeting our customer’s label needs.
