Perceived saltiness
We work on profiles that can support the perception of savoury fullness.
Flavour solutions designed to support taste, perceived saltiness and roundness in low-salt and reduced-sodium savoury products.
When sodium is reduced, the entire sensory balance of a savoury product changes. Flavour can help restore fullness, complexity and satisfaction.
L’Italiana Aromi develops flavour solutions for salt reduction and sodium reduction in savoury snacks, baked products, seasonings and other savoury food applications.
Each solution is designed according to the matrix, target reduction, nutritional positioning and expected consumer perception.
The goal is not to mask a reduction, but to rebuild a satisfying taste architecture around the product.
Salt reduction can involve very different applications, each with its own sensory and technical constraints.
Salt reduction often requires profiles capable of supporting depth, roundness and persistence.
Salt affects more than saltiness. It influences aroma perception, mouthfeel, balance, persistence and overall product satisfaction.
We work on profiles that can support the perception of savoury fullness.
Aromatic complexity can help compensate for flatness in reduced-salt products.
Each solution must be compatible with matrix, process and claim requirements.
There is no universal solution. Each application requires a specific balance between formulation, taste and positioning.
Reduced-salt products need taste solutions able to remain pleasant, credible and consistent with nutritional positioning.
