WESTCHESTER, Ill. – Ingredion Incorporated, a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, announces the publication of “SWEETABULARY™ sweetness language: Bridging the gap between consumer and food scientist” white paper. The paper presents the science behind the company’s new SWEETABULARY sweetness language, a vocabulary that combines Ingredion’s comprehensive analytical and sensory understanding and connects the consumer experience of sweetness with taste and functional attributes that the company uses to create appealing products with sugar-like profiles.
The SWEETABULARY language provides formulators with a language that they can translate into technical solutions for the desired sweetness profile of products using Ingredion’s portfolio of sweeteners – including nutritive, non-nutritive, natural derived and high-potency sweeteners options.
The white paper reviews how the SWEETABULARY language helps formulators to differentiate among sweeteners using sensory analysis, defines descriptive flavor profiles and presents formulation guidance following the company’s DIAL-IN® Sweetness Technology.
DIAL-IN sweetness technology is a unique combination of data, experience and process knowledge that Ingredion experts use to help manufacturers quickly achieve just the right sweetness profile and product functionality in foods and beverages.
“SWEETABULARY sweetness language represents one more way in which Ingredion is driving market-shaping innovation,” said Oscar Gutierrez, director of global sweetness innovation with Ingredion Incorporated. “By connecting the science beyond our sweetness language to consumer preferences, we’re helping our customers to formulate more rapidly for increased acceptability.”
The SWEETABULARY language helps deliver sweetness and functional solutions across all categories: from beverages to dairy, bakery, confectionery and processed foods and pharmaceuticals.
This language is one of many innovative offerings of the Ingredion Idea Labs™ innovation centers. This global network of 24 labs (now open in the U.S. and coming in 2014 to all regions) provides science-based ideas and solutions to Ingredion customers. The SWEETABULARY sweetness language is constantly expanded and enhanced at the Ingredion Idea Labs global center in Bridgewater, N.J., which features deep expertise and capabilities in sweetness sensory and R&D.
