Ingredient Competitors

TasteTech are a creative pioneer in the field of micro-encapsulation, specialising in the manufacture of controlled release food flavourings and ingredients for the bakery, confectionery, chewing gum and nutrition markets. By using encapsulation manufacturers are able to increase the longevity and control the release of ingredients and flavourings. The bakery industry can use encapsulation to achieve controlled release by heat. For example, SorbicPlus is an encapsulated preservative that provides 6-30 days mould free bakery products. The encapsulate melts only during the baking process releasing the active ingredient continuously and evenly throughout the product. Within the chewing gum manufacturing process, encapsulation can prolong flavour release by encapsulating high intensity sweeteners, acids and flavourings in the product. The shearing action caused by chewing provides a prolonged release of the ingredients, enabling the production of gum with a high impact long lasting taste. Also ideal for confectionery and gum products, StabilisedMentholPlus could save you up to 50% on your menthol costs without compromising on impact as it contains 95% menthol compared to spray dry, which on average contains 20%. Sports nutrition manufacturers can benefit from our highly concentrated flavourings. TasteTech understand that the raw materials used in sports nutrition products are often bitter or unpalatable. This is why our team of dedicated flavourists continually create innovative products expertly designed to mask unwanted bitter notes while also providing a superior taste. TasteTech have been manufacturing in the UK for 22 years and export their products to over 30 countries. Their technical, R&D and Quality Control teams, along with onsite testing facilities support their customer’s new product developments which continues to keep them at the forefront of the industry.
