SPICE AND HERB FLAVOR EXTRACTS

WE’VE GOT YOUR FLAVOR ... NATURALLY

Ethnic foods with inherently complex and sophisticated flavor profiles are on the rise...

CONSUMERS

In a recent survey, 90 percent of consumers cited taste as a top purchase driver.1 While consumers continue to enjoy the taste of many staple flavors, such as onion and garlic, they are becoming more adventurous and looking for bolder, spicier flavors in their foods. Ethnic foods with inherently complex and sophisticated flavor profiles are on the rise; however, it is the authenticity of these flavors that remains a key factor in consumer satisfaction.2 For more than 50 years, Kalsec® has provided an extensive line of natural spice and herb extracts to the industry. This core expertise has been the foundation for creating unique extract combinations to meet the demand for emerging authentic flavor profiles.

Consumer preference for hot and spicy foods has grown consistently over the past several years and is evident in an increasingly wide variety of applications, including snacks, meals, sauces, desserts and beverages. Consumers are clearly enjoying hot and spicy foods in many different products. In fact, 80 percent of consumers surveyed said they enjoy hot and spicy foods. Over half of the consumers surveyed eat spicy foods at least once a week.3

As the market heats up, the use of hotter chilies is growing. Habanero, serrano and chipotle peppers have had a dramatic increase in popularity. As leaders in heat management products, Kalsec® has developed HeatSync® and Fusionary® Heat products that allow you to achieve these spicier flavor profiles.

APPLICATION INDEX

Kalsec® Analytical and Sensory Research teams have worked for years to perfect the process of managing the amount and delivery of heat

HEAT MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE

Flavor and Aroma

Profile

Solubility

Color

Pungency

Creating just the right amount of heat in a food product can be a difficult and delicate process. Some products require no heat, some just a subtle amount, and some need to sizzle.

Kalsec® Analytical and Sensory Research teams have worked for years to perfect the process of managing the amount and delivery of heat by isolating specific components from a wide variety of herbs, spices and vegetables. Kalsec® is the primary extractor for many of these pungent spices, which provides us maximum control over critical parameters:

HEAT MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS

CAPSICUM

As a manufacturer of pesticide-compliant and unadulterated material that is precisely standardized for pungency, Kalsec® has developed a line of capsicum products suitable for many applications.

HEATSYNC® HEAT SYSTEMS

Kalsec® HeatSync® Systems are unique combinations of pungent ingredients that deliver heat and sensory attributes targeted for a specific time and palate location. Each component adds a different element to how the heat is expressed. HeatSync® Systems allows delivery of the ideal heat experience for your application.

FUSIONARY® HEAT

Our proprietary process combines heat (pungency) with unexpected spice pairings to create a culinary dimension to heat expression. Fusionary® Heat pairs our expertise in heat management with savory, sour, sweet or tangy flavor attributes to give product developers exciting flavor options for use in their product development.

DELIVERY SYSTEM OPTIONS

Kalsec® can provide a full range of delivery system options to meet your solubility and clean label requirements.

OLEORESINS

These are natural oil dispersible flavors derived from the whole plant. Kalsec® oleoresins provide consistent flavor, aroma and color. They have superior microbiological quality, a longer shelf life and can require less warehouse space than dry spices.

ESSENTIAL OILS

A complex mixture of volatile components responsible for the aromatic characteristics of the spice.

AQUARESINS®

Our patented natural emulsification system provides a water and oil dispersible natural flavor solution with all the benefits of an oleoresin.

SUPER SOLUBLE

Ideal for use in applications requiring complete solubility in water and brine.

ENCAPSULATION

Developed for increased convenience in delivering flavor profiles that present handling and application challenges, such as irritants.
