FLAVORCHEM BRINGS LOCAL FLAVORS OF NEW ORLEANS TO THE IFT

In late June, Flavorchem exhibited at the 2014 IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo in New Orleans, LA. Looking at none other than “The Big Easy” for inspiration, we developed a variety of local flavors to showcase in a couple different applications.

To beat the New Orleans heat, we created frozen fruit and ice cream bars with our new Hurricane and Bananas Foster flavors. The Hurricane is a vibrant tropical drink that made Bourbon Street famous, blending rum, punch, orange and pineapple flavors. Another local favorite, Bananas Foster, is a delightful fusion of caramelized banana, vanilla ice cream, brown sugar, cinnamon and rum.

In addition, Flavorchem offered visitors to take a taste challenge with our Smoked White Cheddar Popcorn, comparing popcorn flavored with Enzyme Modified Cheese (EMC) versus regular cheese. EMCs are an all-natural economic alternative to traditional cheese, containing fewer calories, while still providing a full cheese flavor. For more information on our EMCs, click here.

At the 2015 IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo, Flavorchem will be expanding our presence in our hometown of Chicago. Stay tuned!

MINT: A COOL CLASSIC



From its ancient Mediterranean roots, mint throughout history has been widely used for its medicinal properties as well for being rich in vitamin A and C and other healthy minerals.
 
Mint’s versatility and popularity is visible through its many uses in foods, beverages and nutraceuticals. From teas and spirits to jelly and candy, it’s a consumer favorite because of its fresh taste and association with good health.
 
Due to popular demand, Flavorchem has created a mint kit containing ten of our most popular mint flavors. From spearmint to peppermint, you’ll find a flavor profile perfect for any application.

A SUSTAINABLE OUTLOOK


When the book Silent Spring was released in 1962, the environmental movement gained momentum, impacting the way manufacturers and retailers conduct business. Environmentally conscious consumers are increasingly demanding that the products they consume are produced with sustainable practices with minimal environmental impact.
 
Since Flavorchem’s inception in 1971, our company has taken a proactive approach towards sustainability regarding environmental, economic, and social affairs from conservation of resources to social responsibility. To learn more about Flavorchem Sustainability, click here.

FLAVOR TRENDS: INNOVATION EVERYWHERE

Excerpts from Candy Industry's "Healthy, creatively fused, exotic flavors on the rise"

Making Flavors Healthy and Natural

While the health and wellness concept is relatively new in the confectionery realm, it has great potential, asserts Jim Hamernik, director of research and development at Flavorchem... “Everyone likes confections and if they can contain something “healthy,” it is a win-win situation,” he explains.

Making Sweet and Savory Confections

This isn’t news to Flavorchem....“Salted caramel has been a hot flavor over the last couple of years and we still get requests,” Hamernik says. “I believe this is a marketing twist on an old flavor. There seems to be a trend to take an old concept and add a twist to make it new and exciting.”

Challenges (Using Natural Flavors)

For Flavorchem, and many other flavor manufacturers, an all-natural flavor is something that consists entirely of naturally derived raw materials. It cannot contain any synthetic solvents or ingredients.

The increased demand for natural products has lead to an impact on cost and sourcing, as confectioners work to create a great tasting and good looking product at a good price point, Hamernik says.

Connected to the sourcing aspect of going natural is a challenge connected to dietary restrictions. It is particularly challenging to address at Flavorchem, says Sprovieri, v.p. of sales and marketing at the company.

“There are so many dietary guidelines and restrictions nowadays,” he explains. “For example, formulating flavors for Halal-certified products.” He adds that it helps to know that if a flavor is Kosher-certified and then if it does not contain any alcohol, it’s accepted as Halal.
