About this deal

Flavorchem’s (Downers Grove, IL) 2023 Flavor & Trend Forecast reports that “Authentic flavors and ingredients from Latin America will shift to the spotlight as consumers show greater interest in culinary exploration and regional diversity.” This includes flavors inspired by beverages (horchata, tepache, and aguas frescas); dessert flavors like tres leches, dulce de leche, and churro; and birria, a traditional Mexican stew.

These shoppers want products and flavors with punch, she adds. For instance, “This new wave of self-expression is bringing forth unique flavors coupled with saturated shades. Deep, vibrant pink—think ‘Barbiecore’—is a trending shade, which we’ll see paired with pink grapefruit, dragon fruit, and fruit punch flavors. This also ties in with Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, which is described by Pantone as encouraging ‘experimentation and self-expression without restraint.’” Mango habanero is another example, says Prinova’s Hartman. “Flavor fusions featuring sweet and spicy profiles provide consumers with new taste experiences while still being recognizable,” he says. “Mango habanero taps into two consumer desires: the need for discovery and the curiosity for exotic fruit flavors. The juicy, fruity, and tropical notes from a mango pair perfectly with the fruity and spicy flavors that come from a habanero. This sweet but bold flavor works well in many applications, ranging from confectionery to sauces and even to alcoholic beverages.” We see a continued shift towards proactive support of holistic well-being, with consumers gravitating towards certain flavors that they associate with products that may have functional attributes,” says ADM’s Zhou.

Flavourists say there’s a public health aspect to what they do, too: using technology, they can help remove sugar from consumers’ diets. This is important, not least because heart disease tops most Western countries’ lists for leading causes of death. Post-Covid, nostalgia is about comfort and reassurance, but one of the key things to remember is that today’s consumers are not anchored in the past; they are after nostalgic influences but wish to have new ideas. This experimentation is being driven by younger consumers – Gen Z and Millennials – for whom life is about exploring experiences; they are keen to try fresh and ‘disruptive’ food ingredients and flavours they have learnt about online and are ready for adventure. Indulging in sinful sweets is another classic comfort move. Citing “pure indulgence” as an ongoing trend, FlavorSum’s Holthaus says, “Food has an amazing ability to create joyful moments instantly. Innova reports that 6 in 10 consumers say they most commonly treat themselves by creating everyday moments of happiness. And what makes food so enjoyable? Thirty percent of global consumers find richness of flavor (like in a triple-chocolate concept, for instance) the most important driver of enjoyment and pleasure in food (Innova).” Another flavor company, Flavorman (Louisville, KY), predicts that “soothing lavender” will be popular in 2023. Malnutrition can cause a deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the taste buds to function properly. Deficiencies in the following nutrients may lead to a loss of taste:

Social changes – the survey finally entered the twentieth century in 1991 when it stopped asking the ‘housewife’, later to be called the ‘main diary keeper’, to fill out the questionnaire. The natural sweeteners that they source include monk fruit and stevia, a plant extract. Stevia-based sweeteners have been approved for use in the US, Australia, New Zealand and the EU for at least eight years, and are now used by Pepsi and Coca-Cola in their ‘naturally sweetened’ products – although not in their most popular sugar-free drinks.Nerves found along the pathway from the mouth to the brain are responsible for taste bud function and the perception of flavor. Nerve damage anywhere along this pathway, whether from injury or illness, can contribute to a change in your taste buds. I opened up the bottle, and the scent of the drink immediately jumped out at me, no questions, no hesitations this drink smells like strawberries and cream. There is a sweet, fruity strawberry aroma as well as a softer, more gentle, creamy vanilla aroma. I was pretty sure I’d nailed this. Ammonium and its gas, ammonia, the breakdown products of amino acids, are generally toxic to humans and other animals, many of whom have the ability to detect and respond to environmental ammonium/ammonia. Based on their findings, the researchers speculated that the ability to taste ammonium chloride may have evolved to help organisms avoid harmful substances.

Researchers have uncovered the mechanism by which our taste buds detect ammonium chloride, exemplified by the distinct taste of salty licorice, popular in Scandinavia and the Netherlands. They say the discovery provides evidence for the existence of a sixth basic taste. The name changed to Lucozade in 1929 then Beechams bought it in 1938 before being sold to Japanese drinks firm Suntory in 2013. Over the years there have been a number of changes including new brands such as Lucozade Sport and the flavours including the popular Orange Lucozade. Cheruel F, et al. (2017). Effect of cigarette smoke on gustatory sensitivity, evaluation of the deficit and of the recovery time-course after smoking cessation. According to Mintel, 42% of U.S. adults like their food/drink to contribute to both their mental and physical health,” says FlavorSum’s Holthaus. “2022 has been another year of uncertainty, with inflation, geopolitical concerns, and lasting impacts of COVID-19. With 84% of Americans feeling stressed weekly, we predict a heightened focus for formulators on products that nourish the mind, body, and soul.” As outlined in our article on Global flavours for your local bakery, consumers are becoming more interested in global ethnic cuisines, exploring new combinations and taking themselves on a journey through the food they eat. Flavours popular in Asia provide an interesting inclusion to sweet goods such as yuzu, matcha, wasabi, ginger, cacao, mochi and halva.This is where the market is heading, ADM’s Zhou agrees. Citing “light and calm” as a trend, she says, “Global events have weighed on many consumers, creating a need to find moments of relaxation, as well as ways to shift their mood to more optimistic outlooks and brighter days. Globally, 47% of consumers state that a top barrier to healthy living is the difficulty to find time to relax.” The researchers plan to explore the OTOP1 receptor’s response to ammonium chloride further in the hopes of uncovering more about its evolutionary significance. As we age, our taste buds not only diminish in number, but also change in function. The 10,000 taste buds we are born with begin to decrease as we move into middle age. The taste buds that remain also experience a decrease in size and sensitivity, which can make it harder to perceive taste. A treasure trove of data showing how the UK’s relationship with food has changed over three generations opened today, announced Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss.
