Challenge: Reducing acidic flavour and improve the sensory characteristics of an ambient-fill, cold chain distributed product.
Client: Global FMCG manufacturer
Background: The product is an ambient-fill, cold chain distributed, viscous emulsion that incorporates low pH ingredients to maintain food safety. The challenge is therefore to maintain food safety of the product throughout the supply chain but reduce the prevalence of acid tasting notes.

- Ingredients or technologies to mask, modulate or reduce acidic flavour in the described product.
- Ingredients or technologies to deliver effective microbial control for this ambient-fill, cold chain distributed product.
- Ingredients will ideally be natural/clean label.
- Ingredients will ideally be approved/in the process of being approved for use in some/all of the EMEA region.
