Giving security and flexibility in manufacturing.
Having reliable ingredients that last a long time is invaluable in modern manufacturing. TasteTech has almost 30 years of experience in creating long-lasting flavourings and ingredients. Find out more about the importance of long shelf lives in ingredients, and what you can expect from our products.
Why the long shelf life?
The shelf life of all ingredients is vital to food manufacturers, and flavourings are no exception. Of course, a long-lasting flavouring will contribute to a longer shelf life in the final product.
This also allows for more flexibility in production. A flavouring with a long shelf life gives manufacturers plenty of time to get it into production. They can move production runs to better meet demands, distribute it to NPD departments for use in new products, and buy in larger amounts to reduce costs.
What do we offer?
The shelf life of a flavouring is affected by the chemicals that make it and the process it goes through. Liquid flavourings aren’t processed, meaning their shelf life is dictated by their chemical ingredients.
On the other hand, our standard powder flavourings go through the spray drying process, which affords them extra protection, as well as making them easier to store and handle. Our spray drying process is so good that we give the majority of our flavourings a shelf life of eighteen months.
flavour8 – Maximum Flavour, Maximum Shelf-life
The volatile chemicals used in flavourings are the ones that oxidise fastest. Our unique flavour8 process locks in these volatile components, meaning that not only is the intense flavour locked in, but the shelf life is greatly extended.
The minimum shelf life we give our flavour8 products is two years, with some going as high as three. From the moment it leaves the factory to when the consumer eats it, the volatiles are fully protected. The result is long-lasting flavourings that taste as great as the day they left our factory – even two years after they were made.
