ST. FRANCIS, Wis. – Wixon has expanded its portfolio of proprietary Mag-nifique technologies, a collection of 18 all-natural flavor modifiers designed to enhance food and beverage products, to include a non-GMO option.
Created in response to market trends and consumer demand, the flavor modifying solutions positively impact nutritional, everyday, and functional ingredients that pose texture and flavor challenges – all without GMOs. The Mag-nifique portfolio can remove unwanted off-notes, bitterness, sodium, fat, and sugar in food and beverages, while taste remains unchanged. The non-GMO technologies are all-natural and ideal for low-calorie, fortified, and botanically-enhanced products in a variety of consumer segments. The original Mag-nifique formulas will continue to be available as well.
“Research indicates that consumers are interested in non-GMO in their food and drinks,” notes Leda Strand, Wixon’s Vice President of Research & Development. “We now offer GMO-free versions of Mag-nifique flavor modifiers as an option for manufacturers who are seeking to enhance their products without compromising on taste.”
