How abelei’s Flavors & Services Help Create, Improve & Optimize Edible Products!

New Product Development

Though not a product development service provider, abelei often offers to start product formulas and recommends adjustments to the sweetness, acidity, mouthfeel and other characteristics of the base formula that affects a product's organoleptic appeal and overall likability. When customers needed formulating assistance beyond abelei’s scope, we are able to refer them to a broad network of professional food and beverage formulators, nutritional labeling experts, Non-GMO Project Verified and Organic certifiers, food safety specialists and other industry experts. Of course, working with customers’ unflavored base products to tailor flavor solutions that are on-target and on-budget is a common occurrence. All told in 2018 abelei sold over 100 new flavors used in nearly as many new edible products in North America and around the globe.

Product Improvements

Of the over 1,400 projects worked on in 2018, a fair number called for help with improving the flavor of existing products. Such projects normally require the use of various skill sets: GC-Mass Spec. analysis, flavor creation and applications, and sensory evaluation. abelei has these and other resources at its disposal to help customers quantifiably improve their products.

Product Optimization

Occasionally, customers seek our assistance with adjusting a flavor to streamline product processing or drive out as much cost as possible while preserving the flavor profile of the original product. Though these are often the most challenging projects, abelei has the experienced resources to tackle such projects successfully and efficiently.
