Texture

"Our texture experts help you select the right combination of ingredients to optimize the sensory experience."

Food can be liquid, hard, chewy, creamy or smooth, to name but several possibilities. Consumers not only crave certain tastes, they also crave certain textures. And texture in turn contributes to consumers’ sense of taste, hence it’s an important attribute to work on. It is however very rare that one single ingredient is capable of resolving the full 'texture challenge'. Our experienced texture experts can help you select the right combination of ingredients for an optimum sensory experience.
