While buffers are well-known as pH regulators, in gummies they also have an untapped potential: modulating taste and flavor in dimensions such as intensity, juiciness, sourness, true-to-fruit, and complexity. 

Bartek conducted sensory analysis on fruit-flavored gelatin and pectin gummies made with different buffers to demonstrate how buffer choice dramatically affects taste and flavor. Buffers are valuable tools for formulators looking to design products with impactful and unique sensory profiles.     

Watch our webinar on-demand below to learn how specific buffers like our Uplift™ Taste Modification Technology affect taste and flavor, applicable in the confectionary, VMS, and beverage markets.
