Flavours for food supplement and pharma

Dietary supplements and substitutes are often developed for purposes other than good taste, and the same goes for chemically compounded medicines, which are also not created with flavour in mind.  

But good taste can be added. Flavours can camouflage an undesirable taste and/or smell and make medicines more pleasant in taste, smell and texture. Among other things, flavours are used to coat tablets, providing a surface that makes it easier to swallow the tablet.  

Flavours can also be used in food supplements and substitutes. Both as flavouring components or to mask any off-flavours or odours.

Flavours are divided into sweet and savoury, and the sweet nuances are divided into: 

• Fruits
• Dark flavours such as coffee, chocolate or caramel
• Vanilla
• Nuts
• Dairy flavours such as milk, yoghurt or cream 

The salty flavours are categorised into:

• Vegetables
• Spices
• Smoke flavours
• Culinary flavours including barbecue and grill flavours
• Meat flavours including broth and umami, as well as the aroma and flavourings for fish
• Dairy flavours such as butter and cheese flavours

In each category there are variants of different origins, so there is always a flavouring that can fit the end product. Depending on the application, the flavouring can be supplied as either liquid, oil and water soluble or powder.  

All flavours are selected or developed together with specialists from our partner network.
