The Trend
The clean-label movement has evolved considerably since the term was first used to indicate the use of more natural ingredients and the absence of chemical additives. Today, the issue covers all areas of ingredient transparency, with clean, clear and simple labels becoming a new global standard. Consumers want authentic products with fewer ingredients and additives. At the same time, they need ingredients that can ensure a good and rich taste in their products. In the food industry, the use of flavor enhancers such as MSG, yeast extracts and ribotides, as well as synthetic flavors and enzyme modified cheese are widely used to produce a rich and powerful flavor. Hence there is an imperative need to identify natural ingredients with flavor enhancing properties.
