Schultz reminds us that - when it comes
to developing cheese flavors - it is
important to look at the balance of the
entire system being flavored, rather than
just the flavor itself.
" The pieces need to be
interconnected, adding
attributes that fit
and complement each
other, while avoiding
components that don't
fit well, " he says. " The
challenge is that we need
to do this based on the
customer's preferences,
and not necessarily from
our own. Taste, being
so subjective, makes it
imperative that there
is good communication
between Edlong and the
customer. "

How does Edlong ensure those pieces
are well balanced? Enriquez explains that
it begins with an understanding that the
application of flavor in food is more than just
adding flavors to a product.
" We must understand how different
ingredients interact (proteins, fats) with
each other; what type of processing the
product is going through (heat treatment,
freezing); whether there are off-notes
from ingredients in the formula (proteins,
vitamins, minerals, sweeteners); and if
there are any challenges around mouthfeel
(waxiness from vegetable fat, oxidized
notes), " Enriquez emphasizes. " Once we
have considered all of these factors, we can
figure out how our flavors will help. As we
taste our applications, our flavorists record
the data so we have it as a reference moving
forward. This helps us align with customers'
needs. We constantly analyze challenges
the market can expect from new and novel
ingredients, and we find solutions. "
