Mint is one of the most globally popular flavours. Its use as an ingredient can be traced back to the 18th Century. Nowadays, mint flavourings are commonplace particularly within confectionery products such as hard and soft candies, chocolate and, of course, chewing gum. Mintel tells us that mint flavours are commonplace within ten categories of new confectionery products launched. In new product development, mint flavours have never been so popular.
Here at TasteTech, we’ve been developing a new range of encapsulated mint flavourings in powder form, including natural options. Our new mint flavour portfolio harnesses the unique properties of a variety of mint profiles in three encapsulated delivery systems – spray dry, matrix particle and flavour8.
The range means our customers can create new and exciting products with interesting sensations. They can utilise the unique properties of mint flavours, without the problems normally associated with liquid mint flavours.
Rob McCarthy, our Product Manager for confectionery, said “We know how difficult mint flavours are to use in application, however they are incredibly popular to consumers. Our encapsulation technology helps make mint flavours easier to use and delivers some stunning results, particularly in chocolate and chewing gum.”
We’ve created a new mint flavourings sample pack to make the selection process even easier. It’s filled with ready-to-taste compressed tablets in seven varieties of mint. So, whether sweet or fresh, herbal or clear – we have the mint for you.
